    Regularly treat soft leather, kidskin leather and lambskin leather with a small amount of shoe polish — colorless is recommended to avoid staining — and shine with a soft cloth. To help reduce the look of marks on the surface, gently rub the leather in a circular motion. Avoid any products that may alter the finish.

  • STORAGE
