Care guide
Made to last. Cared for to last longer.
How to keep your Vaelrum pieces soft, rich in colour and true to shape for years.
01
Everyday leather care
Wipe your jacket with a soft, dry cloth after wearing it, and let it air out before it goes back in the wardrobe.
Condition it twice a year with a leather conditioner, on a clean cloth, in small circles. Test it first on a hidden spot.
02
When it rains
Leather can take a shower. Blot it with a towel, then let it dry slowly at room temperature, away from radiators and direct sun.
Never use a hairdryer: heat dries the leather out and can make it crack.
03
Suede
Brush suede gently with a soft suede brush, always in one direction, to lift the nap.
A suede protector spray keeps out rain and stains. For a deep mark, ask a specialist cleaner.
04
Knits and cotton
Wash cold on a gentle cycle, inside out, with a mild detergent.
Reshape while damp and dry knits flat. Fold them rather than hanging, so the shoulders keep their shape.
05
Storing your pieces
Hang jackets and coats on a wide, padded hanger, in a breathable cotton bag rather than plastic.
Give each piece a little space so the leather can breathe.
