For a designer, the greatest recognition is when the items they create accompany their wearers every day.
However, constant use - even it is from a genuine leather  - means that the product is subject to wear and tear.
Therefore, we would like to help with a few care tips so that you are prepared for every situation.

Due to its exclusive material, a MOODS accessories deserve careful storage, maintenance, and care.

Care begins with using it according to its function.

- Do not use it as a classic waist belt, which is keeping trousers and skirt on the proper place, especially oversize trousers to laced up in belt holders.
This is important because leather has a natural ability to stretch. If we regularly strech it, the leather belt will first stretch at the rivets and snaps, it will loose its form and you can even loose the snaps, or you can not close them anymore.

- Handle it carefully, do not put in items that are misshapen, bulging, sharp, or pointed. Also, ensure that sharp, pointed objects, furniture, tools, including jewelry worn on your hands, do not damage it.

- Water can also cause color changes, even surface changes, so while you wash your hands please take off MOODS bracelets, and also belts can get wet.

Regular Cleaning:
Wipe leather accessories with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Use a mild, pH-balanced leather cleaner for stubborn stains, avoiding harsh chemicals.

Conditioning: Apply a small amount of high-quality leather conditioner evenly to moisturize and prevent drying, cracking, and stiffness.

AvoidExcessive Moisture: Keep leather awayfrom direct sunlight and damp conditions. If wet, pat dry with a soft cloth and let air-dry naturally—avoid heat sources like hair dryers.

ProperHandle with Care: Avoid excessive bending or twisting to prevent creases or damage. Fasten belts and wear bracelets gently to minimize stress on the leather.

Protect from Sunlight: Store accessories away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Consider using leather dye to restore color if fading occurs.

To maintain long-lasting quality, it is very important that belts and bracelets are properly stored and cared for. Leather is a natural material that moves, stretches and is sensitive to moisture and mechanical stress.

f you can store them horizontally in your wardrobe, two solutions are recommended.

Horizontally:
it can be either laid out flat on a horizontal surface, or rolled up, but care must be taken not to roll it up too tightly.

You can keep them also vertically in your warddrobe, where also belts and bracelets can be stored on a classic hanger. In this  case it is advisable to close the snap to prevent belts or bracelets from falling off.

When travelling, either place them flat in the suitcase or suitcase and place them in the small canvas bag one by one, or place them flat on the bottom or on the side, depending on the size of the suitcase or bag. When you arrive at your destination, take it out as soon as possible.

Here are a few more storage tips:

1. Never store a leather accessory in a plastic bag, as it hinders the leather’s natural “breathing”. Always store your MOODS accessories in the textile dust bag, if you need to put them in a bag provided at the time of purchase!

2. Keep the leather accessories away from artificial heat sources, which can cause the leather to dry out and crack.

3. Never strech the lether accessories in any form: too tight rolling, folding,  to prevent premature warping of the leather and to avoid  stretching.
