How do I care for my badge wallet or other leather products?
Leather goods are naturally durable, but they benefit from a little care. With a few simple steps, your wallet or case can look great and last for years.
Natural Wear & Aging
Leather loses oils and softens over time — that “worn-in” look is often desirable. But to keep it from drying out or cracking, apply a quality leather conditioner periodically.
Moisture & Wetness
If your wallet gets wet, dry it slowly at room temperature. Leave it closed in its usual form. Avoid rapid drying (heat sources, hair dryers, radiators) — those can warp or damage the leather.
Temperature & Sunlight
Keep your wallet out of extreme heat, cold, or direct sun when possible. High heat can cause peeling or bubbling, and freezing conditions may make it brittle. Storing it in a bag, pocket, or shaded area helps preserve it.
Scratches & Marks
Minimize contact with sharp or metallic objects. To reduce minor scratches, you can apply leather polish — but test it first on an inconspicuous spot, because color may slightly change.
Dirt & Dust
Use a soft, damp cloth with warm water (light pressure only) to gently remove dust or smudges. After cleaning, air-dry at room temperature with the wallet closed so it retains its shape.
Pro Tips & Best Practices
- Condition every few months to maintain supple leather.
- Avoid overstuffing — stretching the leather can distort cutouts and edges.
- Store the wallet closed to maintain its shape and protect inside surfaces.
