How to care for leather albums and cases

Leather-covered albums and cases last for many years when stored properly. A few simple habits extend their life.

• Keep them out of the sun: Direct sunlight can fade the colour.
• Protect from moisture: Damp rooms can damage the covering and the pages.
• Wipe with a dry cloth: Remove dust with a soft dry cloth; avoid wet cloths and chemical cleaners.
• Store upright or flat: Keeping heavy objects off the cover preserves its shape.
• Mind the foil: Avoid scratching foil-stamped areas with hard objects.
