Value Estimate

Care & Maintenance
Store in a breathable dust bag away from direct sunlight and other colored items to prevent color transfer on patent leather. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth specifically formulated for patent leather, and avoid using harsh chemical solvents or standard leather conditioners on the glossy coating.
