Product care
A little attention, so a Florian leather item
will last many years.
Leather, in general
Simple care,
done gently.
The best way to clean any leather is to wipe it gently with a soft damp cloth, then leave it to dry naturally. Applying a little leather balm or neutral polish once in a while will help protect and nourish the leather, so that your Florian London leather item will last many years.
We advise our customers to avoid using leather accessories in very wet or humid conditions. If they get wet, leave them out to dry naturally, away from strong heat sources. Once dry, check for any water marks and apply a little polish or leather balm if necessary.
Do not overstuff your leather bag. Leather is naturally a supple material, so will take shape easily — which you may or may not want. In any case, please avoid compressing your leather accessories for prolonged periods, as this will deform the items and can strain the stitching.
By material
A closer look.
Patent leather
Patent leather is made from real leather finished with a mixture of acrylic and polyurethane, which gives a longer-lasting, durable finish. Dirt on patent can be easily removed with a damp cloth.
Patent will easily absorb ink or pigments, so we advise that products are kept in their dust bag when not in use, and that you avoid contact with dark or heavily printed materials.
Nylon
Our nylon is the strongest we could find, and is waterproof. However, we recommend keeping nylon products away from excessive heat and water.
Crosshatched leather
The leather is stamped in a method which renders the bag virtually scratch-resistant and easy to clean. However, we advise you to store it away from direct sunlight to prevent the colour fading, and to keep it away from extreme heat, as this can dry out the natural oils. Wipe away surface dirt with a damp cloth.
Avoid using abrasive or solvent cleaners, as they will damage leather.
