Kiedo Leather Cream
Bag care
Bags go through all kinds of activities, so we recommend treating them with colorless leather cream. Especially for light-colored bags, we recommend treating them before first use. The cream protects the bag from rain/moisture and dirt. With colorless cream, you can also magically make scratches disappear from the leather and nourish it. When the leather does not dry out, it withstands use best – even for decades. With leather cream, your bags and cases will look like new.

Please do not wear new dark jeans with lighter leather bags or belts, as the jeans may bleed color before the first wash.
Wrap belt care
Leather wrap belts are almost maintenance-free if you store them properly. Below you will find tips for new belt owners:
- Remember to wrap the belt loosely around your body so it doesn’t chafe or come undone while moving
- Tying the knot firmly is recommended
- At first, a double knot, meaning two knots on top of each other, is a stylish way to tie and an easy way to tame the belt
- If you bought the belt for a special occasion, it’s good to wear it a few times before the event
- The wrap belt will soften and become more flexible with use; you’ll notice the difference after just a few wears
- The belt absorbs oils from your hands, so the more you tie and “handle” it, the better it gets! Leather wrap belts are maintenance-free thanks to this
- Please store the belt away from sunlight and hot radiators, and do not store it tightly rolled or folded – you can also get a Kiedo Dustbag to protect your belts
- If the leather of the belt dries out for some reason, you can treat it with a small amount of colorless leather cream. Use very little product and allow the cream to absorb well so it doesn’t stain clothes
- You can gently brush a suede belt with a clothes brush or suede stone
Please do not wear new dark jeans with lighter leather bags or belts, as the jeans may bleed color before the first wash.
Jewelry care
- Always put earrings on last when getting ready; hairspray or makeup is not good for leather
- If makeup gets on a leather earring, you can clean it with colorless leather cream using a cotton swab Discover Kiedo Leather Cream
- Baby wipes are also handy for removing dirt or makeup stains from leather products
- Remember to use silicone backs on hook earrings so the jewelry doesn’t catch on scarves and get lost
- Store leather earrings away from direct sunlight, and do not keep your jewelry near radiators
Kiedo Ainoa Leather Jacket Care
You have a custom made leather jacket in your hands, and we wish you wonderful moments together for decades ❤️
The jacket comes with ecological, plant-based leather cream that moisturizes and cleans the leather and covers small marks on the surface. The cream also protects the jacket from moisture. It’s good to treat the jacket with a small amount of product every year, including before the first use. The cream is excellent for caring for other leather products as well. Discover Kiedo Leather Cream
Please do not store the jacket near a heat radiator or in direct sunlight. It’s best to keep the zipper closed on a jacket hanger; sharp ordinary hangers may leave marks or stretch the sleeves. When storing the jacket in a closet, remember that clothes need space to breathe, and leather may get creases if the closet is packed tightly with clothes. Leather withstands light rain, but if the jacket gets completely wet, let it dry with the zipper closed in its natural shape, and then treat it with leather cream once it is fully dry (do not dry the jacket in a sauna). Small stains are easy to remove from leather with a damp cloth or with "baby wipes".
If you encounter any issues with the jacket, we are always here to help. The jacket is made so that all repairs are possible if, for example, the leather or lining accidentally tears.
