After a few months of continuous use, you may find that you'd like to condition the leather to restore its luster, and buff out any dry spots or scuffs. There are many leather conditioning products to choose from, but please note: adding an oil-based conditioner will likely darken the color of your leather. We always recommend testing any product on a small, inconspicuous section hidden away to ensure you're okay with the end result! Alternatively, if you'd like to avoid that, shop for a conditioner that does not contain (or has a limited amount) of oil content.
We use our Ultimate Leather Conditioner in our workshop every day and notice minimal color changes on our smooth and pebbled leathers. Keep in mind, this product is not recommended for brushed or vegetable tanned leathers! In our experience, most of our leathers will look a bit darker when you first apply the conditioner, but will return to their original shade when dry. Of course, take care to use a reasonable amount, as a super heavy coat may have different effects!
If you are caring for a brushed leather, we recommend using a soft brush to buff scratches and marks like in Kiwi’s Suede & Nubuck Care Kit.
