CARE & MAINTENANCE TIPS
Leather’s charm is due to its shifts in nuances,
varying textures, in-built freshness and natural subtle
changes which make every piece unique.
When handling such a versatile material, its
appearance will be shaped by the choices in taking
care of it.
GIOBAGNARA has been constantly looking,
for more than twenty years, for solutions to create
technical fnishes able to grant leather with stunning
properties, such as unrivalled resistance and durability.

To polish leather, we recommend to clean it gently
with a soft cloth dampened with warm water or a
small brush and, if necessary, with mild soap.
Lighter tones are more susceptible to noticeable
spots and tears, so cleaning is essential to maintain a
pristine fnish.
It is important to avoid using abrasive cleaning
methods and alcohol-based detergents, especially for
leathers with a smooth fnish.
SUEDE
SUEDE
When handling suede, dry cleaning methods are
advisable: this fnish requires the use of a brush
or a special rubber for suede cleaning.
Wet conditions should be avoided and water should
not be used during the cleaning process; accidental
spills can be blotted away with a clean, dry cloth.
Be sure not vigorously rub the surface.
PONY & SHEARLING
PONY & SHEARLING
It is recommended to clean gently with a small
brush or a soft cloth dampened with warm water
(in this case, it is important to remember to let it dry
naturally).

When cleaning exotic leathers such as real shagreen
and crocodile, always be sure to work with the grain.
While standard cleaning methods such as soap and
water and specialised leather cleaning solutions can
be applied, it's important to thoroughly remove any
product build up from grooves and crevices after
cleaning. This can be achieved by gently buffng your
products with a soft brush.
