Care Tips

As an organic and fragile material, leather requires special and delicate care to avoid premature wear and tear. Leather is a material that develops a patina. With time its texture and colour will vary. These variations will give your leather goods character. Nevertheless, it is important to maintain them carefully so that they do not become damaged.

Depending on the type of leather, maintenance is different. Our leather care guide will help you know the best way to care for your PAUL MARIUS items according to their composition.
