WHEN IS IT WORTH REPAIRING MY LEATHER PRODUCT?
Those who invest in a product made of high-quality genuine leather usually enjoy it for many years, perhaps even decades. Genuine leather goods are very robust and durable. Nevertheless, wallets, handbags, and belts often accompany us daily and are subject to corresponding wear and tear. It can happen that even the highest quality leather goods show signs of wear after some time. If these signs go beyond a charming patina, the question arises whether the leather product can be repaired.
When should I use the repair service?
If zippers, magnetic closures, or metal parts are broken, the lining is torn, or seams are ripped, professional leather repair is essential. Send in your favorite leather item and rely on the expert service of our specialists.
Don't hesitate too long! Minor defects are usually easier to repair than major damage. "For example, if the lining around a credit card divider starts to come apart because too many cards have been crammed into one slot, we can still repair it quite well," says master leather craftsman Manfred Goll. "But if he waits too long and the whole thing becomes a total loss, even we can't work miracles anymore."

WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE MY LEATHER PRODUCT LAST LONGER?
To ensure your leather product lasts as long as possible, retains its beautiful and high-quality appearance, and avoids the need for leather repairs altogether, proper leather care is essential. Suitable care and cleaning methods exist for every type of leather. Purchase the necessary care products for your leather and be disciplined in handling your leather goods correctly. Always test the care product on an inconspicuous area first. This will help you avoid unpleasant surprises.
Treat your beloved leather wallet with care. Consider, for example, purchasing a separate wallet instead of overstuffing your small purse. Regularly filling credit card slots with more than one card each risks overstretching and damaging the leather and seams, making repairs unavoidable. Similarly, zippered wallets should not be so full that the zipper becomes difficult to close.
Longevity through care and repairs
The more carefully you treat your beloved leather item, the less likely it is that you'll need to repair it in the first place. It's advisable to research care tips for all types of leather . Should a repair become unavoidable, act quickly and have the damage fixed before it worsens and, in the worst-case scenario, becomes irreparable.
For all feasible repairs, large and small, we are happy to assist you with our lifetime Braun Büffel repair service . So that you and your leather goods can enjoy a long and lasting relationship.
