HOW TO CARE FOR CROCODILE LEATHER/.

• Apply a small amount of premium conditioner formulated for exotic leather twice a year to help nourish the leather and maintain its natural beauty.
• If the leather gets wet, allow it to air-dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Once almost dry, apply a light coat of conditioner to restore flexibility.
• Avoid conditioners containing wax, silicone or animal oils, as they may darken the leather, reduce breathability, or damage its natural finish. Always apply conditioner to a soft cloth first, never directly onto the leather.
• Store the product empty and lightly stuffed with tissue paper to help maintain its shape.
• Keep in a cool, dry place away from heat and humidity. Do not store in sealed plastic bags, as genuine leather needs to breathe.
• Avoid contact with alcohol, solvents, household cleaners or furniture polish.
