Leather Maintenance

If you want to keep beautiful your skillfully handcrafted Añel Italian leather products follow these 10 simple steps recommended by Añel Racer Collection team making sure they stand the test of time.

Feed your Añel leather products with a neutral cream every now and then to help maintain their natural oils.
Keep all leather items out of direct sunlight to prevent the color from fading.
Use the Añel bags received with your shoes to protect the leather from scratches during storage.
Keep leather away from extreme heat as it can dry out the natural oils.

Take immediate action if leather gets wet. Wipe it with a soft cloth, pack the inside with paper to absorb any further wetness and leave it to dry naturally.

Remember

that leather is a natural material, so it is normal for small color variations and even small imperfections to be visible on the surface.

For the shoes we recommend using a shoe last or pad to keep their shape, while of the belt's leather, hang them from the buckle.
Avoid spraying perfume near leather as it can affect the colour.
Do not store light colored leather next to dark colored leather as the darker shade may "migrate" or chafe and cause irreversible damage.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents as they will damage the skin
