At APIRIA, each piece we create is designed to be more than an accessory; it’s a timeless companion. We believe that with proper care, your treasured items will remain as beautiful and meaningful as the day you first received them. Our accessories are crafted with quality materials and attention to detail, deserving of care that honors their lasting value. Whether it’s keeping metals shining or maintaining the integrity of delicate details, this guide will walk you through best practices to preserve the brilliance and longevity of your beloved pieces.

1. General Maintenance
- Avoid Overstuffing: Prevent stretching by carrying only essential cards and bills.
- Rotate Use: If you own multiple wallets, alternate their use to minimize wear.
- Handle with Clean Hands: Oils and dirt can darken or stain the leather over time.

2. Cleaning Instructions
- Dust Regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently remove surface dust.
- Spot Clean: For minor spots, use a slightly damp cloth and gently blot (do not rub). Avoid excessive moisture.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use household cleaners, alcohol-based products, or abrasive materials.

3. Conditioning the Leather
- Use a Quality Leather Conditioner: Apply sparingly every 6–12 months using a clean cloth. This keeps the leather supple and helps prevent cracking.
- Test First: Always test conditioners on a hidden area first, as some products may darken the leather.

4. Protecting the Design
- Minimize Friction: Repeated rubbing against rough surfaces can cause debossed areas to wear more quickly.
- Avoid Excessive Heat or Sunlight: Prolonged exposure may cause fading or drying, especially in embossed or debossed areas.

5. Storage Tips
- Store in a Dust Bag or Box: Keep your wallet in a breathable dust bag or its original packaging when not in use.
- Maintain Shape: If storing for an extended period, stuff the wallet with tissue to retain its shape.
- Keep in a Cool, Dry Place: Avoid humid or overly dry environments.
- Separate from Colored Fabrics: Store your leather item with consideration, keeping it separate from colored or dark fabrics to avoid any potential color transfer.
