Care Guide

Leather Care

All Unseelie Workshop pieces are crafted from full-grain and premium leather. With proper care, your piece will develop a rich patina and last for many years.

• Condition your leather every 3–6 months using a high-quality, pH-neutral leather conditioner.
• Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade and dry out the leather.
• Allow the leather to dry naturally if it gets wet — never use direct heat.
• Store flat or loosely coiled, never tightly folded, to avoid permanent creasing.

Cleaning

For everyday cleaning, a soft dry cloth is usually all you need. For more stubborn marks:

• Use a slightly damp cloth with a small amount of mild, unscented soap.
• Work gently in circular motions and wipe clean with a dry cloth.
• Never submerge leather in water or use household cleaning products.
• Allow to air dry fully before conditioning or storing.

Hardware

Our hardware is solid brass or nickel plated. To maintain its finish:

• Wipe hardware dry after any moisture exposure to prevent tarnishing.
• A soft polishing cloth will restore shine to brass fittings over time.
• Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals.

Suede Lining

Pieces with suede lining require a little extra care on the interior:

• Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap if it becomes flattened.
• Avoid moisture on suede where possible — if wet, allow to dry naturally and brush once dry.
• Store pieces with the lining protected from dust.

Storage

When not in use, store your pieces in a cool, dry place away from direct light. A cotton dust bag is ideal. Avoid plastic bags, which trap moisture and can cause mildew.
