Worry not — cork leather is exceptionally easy to take care of. Besides, cork is water-proof and antimicrobial, which means your cork leather wallets are naturally resistant to dirt, dust and stains of all kinds. But if you ever feel the need to go the extra mile to take care of your wallets, we’ve got your back!

Here’s how you can keep your cork leather wallets feeling brand new:

Once you’re done, wipe away the excess soap from your wallet with a clean cloth. If it feels slightly damp, simply let it air dry.

Cork leather products, unlike most other leather, do not need any conditioning, so the occasional clean-up will do just fine! 

If there are any spills on your cork leather wallet, try to wipe it clean right away to prevent any staining. In case a stain sets in, use a soft-bristled brush (such as a spare toothbrush or a make-up brush) and scrub it out gently with soap and water.
