Tamafi Leather Goods Care Guide

Preserve the Prestige. Carry the Legacy.

At Tamafi, each leather creation—whether it’s a wallet, bag, belt, or shoe—is a story of artistry, patience, and heritage. Our leather isn’t just material; it’s a living canvas that evolves with time, absorbing your journey and becoming uniquely yours.

To ensure that your Tamafi leather ages with grace, boldness, and authenticity, follow this premium care guide.

1. Understand Your Leather

Tamafi uses a curated selection of high-grade leathers—veg-tanned, full-grain, and top-grain—sourced and finished with precision. Knowing your leather type is crucial:

Leather Type	Texture	Care Notes
Full-Grain Leather	Natural, rugged patina	Ages beautifully; use minimal product
Top-Grain Leather	Smooth, refined	Maintain shine with soft polishing
Suede & Nubuck	Soft, velvety texture	Avoid water; use suede brush
Patent Leather	Glossy, sleek	Wipe with damp cloth; avoid scratches

2. Daily Habits for Lasting Quality

• Keep it dry. Moisture is leather’s enemy. If it gets wet, gently pat dry and let it air dry—never use a dryer or direct heat.
• Store smart. Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a Tamafi dust bag. Avoid plastic; leather needs to breathe.
• Avoid overloading. Especially for wallets, belts, and bags. Leather stretches and won’t return to shape easily.
• Let it rest. Shoes and belts should not be worn every day—rotate to let the leather relax and recover.

3. Cleaning Routine (Monthly)

• Dust Off: Use a soft microfiber cloth to remove surface dust.
• Mild Cleanse: Mix a few drops of baby shampoo or saddle soap in water. Dampen a cloth and wipe gently.
• Dry Naturally: Allow the item to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight.

⚠️ Never soak or submerge your leather item.

4. Conditioning & Polishing (Every 2–3 Months)

Leather dries over time. Replenish its natural oils using a high-quality leather conditioner.

Steps:

1. Test a small hidden area first.
2. Apply conditioner in circular motion using a soft cloth.
3. Let it absorb for 10–15 minutes.
4. Buff with a dry cloth to restore luster.

🌿 Tamafi recommends all-natural, colorless conditioners to maintain the original tone.

5. Special Care by Category

Bags & Wallets

• Avoid contact with hand creams, perfumes, and oils.
• Keep away from ink pens inside bags.
• Store with tissue stuffing to maintain shape.

Belts

• Hang vertically to prevent warping.
• Use leather protectant before first use to resist cracking.

Shoes

• Use shoe trees to retain structure.
• Polish regularly with cream polish, not liquid.
• Rest them after heavy wear; leather soles need time to breathe.

6. What to Avoid

❌ Don’t	✅ Do
Use alcohol wipes	Use water-based leather cleaner
Expose to rain/sun	Store in shaded, dry places
Iron or heat	Air-dry slowly
Scrub stains aggressively	Dab gently with soft cloth

7. Long-Term Maintenance

• Annual Spa: Once a year, consider a professional leather spa or conditioning treatment for high-value pieces.
• Reinforcement: For long-term wear like belts and bags, periodic stitching checks or lining replacements can preserve integrity.

Your Legacy, Your Leather

Every crease, patina, and wear mark is a badge of your journey. Tamafi leather isn’t just meant to last—it’s meant to live with you.

By caring for your piece, you’re not only preserving quality but also adding depth to your legacy. Let your leather tell a story the world can’t ignore.

💼 Tamafi Tip:

“Luxury isn’t loud, it lasts.” Treat your leather as you would a cherished artifact—it’s a part of your signature.
