Leather Care

Leather Care Guide

With simple, regular care, your leather dog collar will remain comfortable, develop character and look better with age.

Everyday Cleaning

Wipe away dust, mud or surface dirt using a soft, dry cloth.

For light marks, use a slightly damp cloth and wipe gently. Allow the collar to air dry naturally before using it again.

Everyday Moisture and Rain

Our leather collars are suitable for everyday use, including walks in light rain and normal UK weather conditions.

If the collar becomes wet, simply wipe away excess moisture with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally at room temperature.

To help preserve the leather and hardware over time, avoid fully soaking the collar or using it while swimming or bathing.

Avoid Direct Heat and Harsh Chemicals

Do not place the collar on a radiator, near a heater or under any direct heat source, as this may cause the leather to dry out or change shape.

Do not wash the collar in a washing machine or tumble dryer.

Avoid bleach, alcohol, household cleaning products and other harsh chemicals.

Leather Conditioning

For smooth leather collars, a small amount of suitable leather conditioner may be applied occasionally to help maintain softness and appearance.

Always test the conditioner on a small, hidden area first and follow the product instructions.

Avoid over-conditioning, as using too much product may darken or soften the leather more than intended.

Suede Lining Care

If your collar has a suede lining, allow it to dry fully before cleaning.

Use a soft suede brush to gently remove dust and help restore the natural texture.

Do not apply standard leather conditioner directly to the suede lining.

Hardware Care

Wipe the buckle, D-rings and other metal fittings with a soft, dry cloth.

After exposure to moisture, dry the hardware thoroughly to help maintain its appearance.

Avoid prolonged contact with salt water, cleaning chemicals and other corrosive substances.

Regular Safety Checks

Regularly inspect the leather, stitching, buckle and D-rings for signs of damage, looseness or excessive wear.

The collar should be replaced if any part becomes damaged or no longer feels secure.

Natural Leather Character

Leather is a natural material, so small variations in grain, texture and colour may occur.

Over time, the leather may soften and develop a natural patina. These changes are part of the unique character of genuine leather and do not affect the collar’s intended everyday use.
