At Nordweg, we’re committed to crafting high-quality leather goods designed to last for many years. To preserve the beauty and durability of your Nordweg products, it’s essential to follow a few care and maintenance practices. Here’s everything you need to know to keep your items in top condition:


1. How should I care for my Nordweg to ensure long-lasting quality?

To keep your leather goods in excellent condition, we recommend:

  • Cleaning regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and surface dirt

  • Moisturizing the leather every 6 months with a leather-specific cream (avoid silicone-based products)

  • Storing in a cool, dry, and ventilated space — away from direct sunlight or heat sources


2. Is the leather scratch- and wear-resistant?

The leather we use is high-quality and durable, but like all natural materials, it may show signs of use over time. To minimize wear:

  • Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces

  • Use a protective case or cloth bag when not in use

  • If scratches occur, a leather repair product can help soften their appearance


3. Can I use leather cleaning products on Nordweg items?

Yes — in fact, we recommend it. When choosing a cleaning or conditioning product:

  • Look for alcohol-free, leather-specific formulas without harsh solvents

  • Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully

  • Apply a small amount to a soft cloth and gently clean the surface — never soak the leather


4. Does leather fade or lose its shine over time?

Leather can gradually fade or lose some of its natural luster, especially with frequent sun exposure. To help preserve its appearance:

  • Avoid leaving the product under direct sunlight for long periods

  • Use a leather conditioner with UV protection when available

  • Apply leather moisturizer regularly to revive its shine


5. Water and moisture protection

Leather is not fully waterproof. To prevent damage from water:

  • Avoid exposing your product to rain or damp environments

  • Consider applying a leather water repellent to help resist moisture

  • If it gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally in the shade — never use heaters or hair dryers


6. How should I store my leather product properly?

Proper storage helps maintain shape and integrity:

  • Store in dry, ventilated places

  • Use breathable fabric bags instead of plastic, which can trap moisture

  • Avoid placing heavy objects on top of your leather item


7. What if my product gets damaged or worn over time?

If your Nordweg needs repair:

  • Contact our customer support team for guidance

  • We offer repair services to help extend the life of your product and keep it looking its best


By following these simple care tips, your Nordweg product will continue to age beautifully and serve you for many years. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us — we’re always happy to help.
