Quick answer
Clean your relic leather bra with a damp soft cloth only, condition sparingly, and store it flat in a breathable bag away from sunlight to preserve its crackled stone-washed finish.
Why relic leather needs special care
The relic leather bra from REBORNE SHOP is cut from soft Italian lambskin with an antiqued, crackled stone-washed finish. This surface is intentionally distressed, so standard leather cleaners or rubbing can strip the character. The leather is also made to order, meaning each piece is unique and requires gentle handling to keep its texture and color even.
When to clean vs. when to air out
Leather does not need frequent washing. Most of the time, hanging the bra in a well-ventilated area overnight is enough to freshen it. Only clean when you see visible dirt or sweat residue. Over-cleaning dries out the lambskin and dulls the crackled finish.
Step-by-step relic leather bra care
- 1. Spot clean with a barely damp cloth: Dip a soft microfiber cloth in lukewarm water and wring it out until it is just damp. Gently dab any soiled areas — do not rub. Common mistake: using a soaking wet cloth can leave water stains on the lambskin.
- 2. Condition only when the leather feels dry: Apply a tiny amount of leather conditioner (unscented, for delicate lambskin) to a clean cloth and buff lightly over the entire surface. Let it absorb for 10 minutes, then wipe off excess. Common mistake: over-conditioning can soften the crackled finish and make it look greasy. Condition at most once every 6 months, or only when the leather starts to feel stiff.
- 3. Dry naturally away from heat: After cleaning or conditioning, lay the bra flat on a dry towel in a room-temperature spot out of direct sunlight. Never use a hair dryer or radiator. Common mistake: hanging the bra wet can stretch the leather and distort the fit.
- 4. Store flat in a breathable dust bag: Fold the bra gently with the cups nested, place it in a cotton or muslin dust bag, and store it in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid plastic bags or vacuum sealing. Common mistake: storing leather in a damp basement or near a heater causes mildew or cracking. Check the storage area once a month for humidity changes — aim for a stable, dry environment.
- 5. Handle the buckle and ties with care: The front bespoke buckle and leather tie straps are part of the design. When adjusting, pull the ties gently from the leather end, not the buckle. Common mistake: yanking the buckle can scratch the finish or loosen the stitching.
