Leather and Product Care
LEATHER
As you might already know, Dogaholic accessories are limited edition because we use leather leftovers to make our products. Using bits and pieces of leather that are leftovers of others, sometimes can be quite challenging. The availability of a leather piece is limited, we only have one piece of the exact same leather. Basic colored leather pieces such as black we can mostly find but the extravagant printed leather pieces are impossible to find twice.
We enjoy this challenge, a lot of creativity is needed and unique pieces are created with a sustainable mind.
Please note, the thickness, flexibility and leather type may vary between our products.
PRODUCT CARE
Nearly all DOGAHOLIC products are made out of leather and should be treated as you would treat your favorite leather handbag. The products should not be exposed to water, snow or other harsh elements. Keep the items out of direct sunlight when storing, the leather fades naturally over time, but sunlight speeds up that progress.
No DOGAHOLIC product should be put in the washing machine or dryer. If your item gets wet, allow it to air dry on a flat surface. Do not use a hair dryer to speed the drying, when leather gets wet and heated right away, it can shrink and dry out quickly. If you need to clean a mark on your item, spot wash it with a damp cloth and let it air dry.
DOGAHOLIC hardware includes snap hooks, buckles, rings and D rings. The gold colored hardware which is made out of solid brass. We recommend it to be cleaned with a brass cleaner found at your local grocery store. Simply polish the hardware as it is said in the instructions on the bottle and watch your hardware come back to life, solid brass always comes back to its original color. The silver colored hardware needs no special care, it stays the same.
