Care
- Brush off dust with a soft, dry brush; dab marks away with a slightly damp cloth.
- If they get wet, stuff them with paper and let them dry at room temperature, away from radiators and direct sun.
- Once a month, apply a thin coat of a colourless, natural leather cream.
- Do not machine wash. Over time the leather darkens and carries the imprint of your child’s steps; this is natural.
