Keep Your Leather Wallet Looking Sharp for Decades
Your CustomKings personalised wallet is built to last a lifetime. Here’s how to care for it so it ages beautifully and stays in top condition.
Your Wallet Gets Better with Age
We are proud of the quality and craftsmanship in every CustomKings personalised wallet. Each one is designed to be tough enough to survive even the most rugged terrains while retaining its timeless beauty. Bumps, bangs, and scratches intensify the wallet’s vintage look. With proper care, your personalised wallet will hold up to decades of service.
The Magic of Natural Leather
Your wallet is 100% natural cowhide. As it ages, the leather will change hue with every scratch and bump, adding to the striking vintage look our wallets are famous for. This natural patina is what makes your wallet truly unique. Wear and tear increase its beauty, not its value loss.
Quick Do’s and Don’ts
- Do treat it with leather balm or wax periodically to keep it soft and supple
- Do wipe spills immediately with a slightly dampened cloth
- Do air dry your wallet naturally if it gets wet (never use heat)
- Don’t use detergents or harsh cleansers (they discolour the leather)
- Don’t over-stuff your wallet with cards or coins for long periods
- Don’t apply heat to dry it (this cracks and hardens the leather)
Complete Care Instructions
Follow these steps to keep your wallet in optimal condition, year after year.
If Your Wallet Gets Wet
- Simply wipe dry with a soft leather cloth
- Do not store your wallet while wet
- Wipe off any moisture before storing to prevent mould or mildew
- Do not use a hairdryer or any type of heat to dry your wallet. Heat can cause the leather to crack or harden
Dealing with Spills
- Wipe spills off with a slightly dampened cloth
- Do not use detergents or cleansers on your wallet. This will discolour the leather and can destroy the engraving
- If necessary, use a soft toothbrush to gently scrub away any stains
Eliminating Unwanted Scratches
- Using a soft dry cloth, rub the scratch in a circular motion to redistribute the wax coating
- For a deep scratch, leather wax can be applied to bring the leather back to its previous condition
- Leather cream or wax should be applied periodically to preserve softness and lustre
Avoiding Stretched Leather
- Limit the number of items stored in the wallet over long periods
- Limit storing large amounts of coins for long periods
- Avoid over-stuffing card sections
Keeping Your Wallet Soft and Supple
- Test a small patch before coating the entire wallet. Some products can change the colour of the leather
- Apply a thin, even layer of leather balm or leather wax with a soft, clean sponge
- Wipe off any excess balm or wax with a soft, dry leather cloth
- Important: Overuse of products designed to keep leather soft can result in too much softening and may damage the wallet
