Echtleder im Winter: Worauf Sie bei Kälte und Schnee achten sollten
Real leather is a high-quality and robust material that is characterized by its durability and elegant appearance. Leather is generally known for its enormous durability. However, it requires special attention when exposed to extreme weather conditions such as cold or snow. Find out what challenges real leather presents in winter, how you can care for it properly and which models are particularly practical for the cold season.
challenges
Cold: No material likes strong temperature fluctuations, not even leather. High-quality leather is generally insensitive to cold. Unfortunately, cold is usually associated with high humidity and that is the real problem. Leather can also become stiff and lose flexibility at very low temperatures. This increases the risk of cracks, especially in older or poorly cared for leather. The susceptibility to brittle leather due to cold can be reduced with simple care tips.
Moisture : High-quality leather can withstand the toughest conditions without fail. But when leather comes into contact with water, the super material suddenly becomes sensitive. Rain, snow and slush can soak the leather, which can lead to water stains on the leather .
Road salt and chemicals : Salt residues on sidewalks can leave unsightly stains on leather and damage the material. Therefore, try not to put bags on the ground, especially in winter.
Care tips for the cold season
Winter poses a particular challenge for leather products. To protect your leather bags or accessories from winter influences, you should follow these care tips:
impregnation
Treat your leather products before the winter season with a high-quality
Impregnating agent. This forms a water-repellent protective layer that
Prevents moisture from penetrating. In general, leather impregnation is the first, important step towards a shared future full of valuable and
fulfilling moments, without any drama, sadness or horror.
Regular cleaning
The purse or bag is and will remain an everyday object. The fact that it is often used every day does not go unnoticed, even with a lot of care. Remove dirt, such as salt residue, quickly and always make sure that you clean it correctly for the type of leather in question .
use care products
If you want to enjoy your beloved leather goods for a long time, you can't avoid taking proper care of them. Use special leather care products , such as leather grease or balm, to keep the material supple. These products prevent drying out and cracking.

Allow damp leather to dry at room temperature. Avoid radiators or direct sunlight, as these can make the material brittle. To help the leather dry a little faster and keep its shape, you can line your leather accessory with newspaper.
