How do I care for my cordovan?

When you first start using cordovan, if you use cream and polish it, the leather surface may become cloudy and lose its luster. The texture will change as you use it, even if it is oily from your hands, so for a while, just wipe it dry with a soft cloth. If the surface feels dry, spread a thin layer of cream over the entire surface, apply it evenly, and wipe it off. Immediately after applying the cream and wiping it off, the luster may decrease and the surface may become whitish, but the cream will blend in over time. Munekawa's original care cream contains a lot of water, so if you are using it on cordovan, which is sensitive to water, wipe it off immediately after applying it. If you use too much cream or leave it for a while, it may cause blisters. Once blisters appear, they cannot be restored. If you are unsure, please use a care cream for cordovan that is available on the market.

How do I care for bridle leather?

For bridle leather, a dry wipe with a soft cloth is sufficient for initial care. As you use it, the oils from your hands and other parts of your hands will get on the leather and the texture will change. When dry wiping, the bloom (a white powder-like substance formed when wax applied to the leather hardens on the surface) will disappear depending on how often and how hard you wipe, so if you want to enjoy the bloom for a long time, adjust the frequency and strength of wiping. (The appearance of the bloom also varies depending on the temperature.) Once the bloom has been removed, it cannot be restored. When the bloom becomes thin and the surface feels dry, spread a thin layer of cream over the entire surface, apply it evenly, and wipe off. The recommended maintenance period is about once every 2 to 3 months, but please try it while watching the condition of the leather. Please note that if you use the cream frequently or apply too much, the leather will become too soft.
