All products made from genuine leather will age with time. Even with excellent care, this is still the case, you simply cannot avoid it. However, a well-cared for and finely aged genuine leather product will be just as beautiful and elegant as a new one, arguably even more so.
Day to day leather care
Taking care of your leather goods starts with basic day to day care. By following a few simple steps, you can extend the life of your accessories and allow them time to develop that striking, unique patina you have always desired. Leather is a natural material that will stretch, in our folio cases for example, we recommend no more than one card to be stored per slot as this will stretch both the card slot itself as well as the leather spine of the case. You should take extra care with your leather items and ensure you wipe away any dust or spots with a soft cloth or brush, frequently.
For the storage of your leather goods, you should ensure that they are stored away from direct sunlight as there is a distinct possibility that this will lead to the leather fading. That is, of course, not to say never take leather goods outside, that would be preposterous, just do not leave them sat in direct sunlight for extended periods of time. Similar can be said for artificial heat sources, for example you should not place your leather products on or directly next to a radiator as this can cause the leather to dry out and crack.
For the best possible ventilation when storing your leather goods, particular the larger sized items like your TORRO Leather Messenger Bag or Leather MacBook Sleeve, we recommend that when not in use you store these in a dust bag and NOT a plastic bag to allow for good ventilation while also minimising the risk of any unwanted marks or scratches.
Leather Care Recommendations

You should also be sure to spot test any cleaning materials you intend to use on your leather, ideally in a hidden spot. This ensures the materials used do not negatively affect your leather, prior to applying it across the full item.
