Start with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and loose particles before any deeper cleaning. For everyday wiping, a slightly damp cloth works well; avoid soaking the leather. If the surface feels sticky or has a light residue, a small amount of leather‑specific cleaner applied with a cotton pad can be used, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
For the Classic Bifold Wallet (Full Grain, Pull Up) and the Classic Bifold Wallet (Crocodile Embossed, Full Grain) you can apply a thin layer of a neutral leather conditioner after the surface is dry. Use a fingertip to spread the conditioner evenly, let it absorb for a few minutes, then buff lightly with a clean cloth. This restores a subtle shine and keeps the leather from drying out.
Stains that are more persistent, such as ink or oil, should be treated gently. Dab the spot with a cloth dampened in a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar, then wipe away any excess moisture immediately. Avoid rubbing harshly, as that can damage the embossing on the crocodile pattern.
When you are not using the wallets, store them in a breathable pouch or a cotton bag rather than a sealed plastic case. Place a small piece of folded paper or a light cloth inside to help the wallet keep its shape. Keep the storage location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can cause the leather to fade or become brittle.
If a wallet has been exposed to heavy moisture or has deep scratches, consider professional leather repair before attempting any home treatment. A skilled artisan can restore the surface while preserving the character of the full‑grain leather.
