Leather Care and Maintenance

Keep your full-grain leather goods looking their best with proper care. Our guides explain how to clean, condition, and protect American Bison leather so it lasts a lifetime. Whether it’s a wallet, belt, or purse, these leather care tips help preserve the beauty and durability of your handcrafted item.

Can You Remove Scratches from Full-Grain Leather?

Some superficial leather scuffs can become less noticeable, but deep scratches, cuts, and missing material are not repaired by conditioner. Start by gently removing loose dirt with a dry cloth and identifying the mark. For Buffalo Billfold Company full-grain leather, the next step depends on the actual surface and damage; complete removal of a scratch should not be assumed.

How to Clean a Leather Belt Without Damaging the Finish

Clean a Buffalo Billfold Company leather belt by removing it from your clothing and gently wiping the smooth leather with a clean, soft, dry cloth. Treat the buckle and any suede backing as separate surfaces. Routine dust does not require soaking or a strong cleaner, and conditioner is an occasional treatment for suitable leather that actually needs it.

How to Clean an Unlined Leather Purse Inside and Out

Empty an unlined leather purse, gently remove loose debris, and wipe accessible leather surfaces with a clean, soft, dry cloth. Clean the exterior and interior as separate areas, and avoid treating an exposed leather interior like a washable fabric lining. For spills or persistent stains, identify the affected material and ask about the specific bag before adding a cleaner.
