Meomari's Care and Repair Guide

CLEANING AND CARE

At MEOMARI we believe your products should last a lifetime while aging gracefully. The quality and characteristics of the fabrics, leather and hardware used at MEOMARI, ensure the highest grade of durability, comfort and appearance. All products are stress tested and developed to last.

Choice of leather:

MEOMARI uses only the highest quality of cow leathers. Vegan leather are low quality. Cow leather outlasts any leather’s longevity and even improves with age. It is by nature resilient and resists tearing, cracking and fading. With proper care, cow leather products last a lifetime. Most of our leather products are made from Saffiano leather which is scratch resistance and considered low maintenance. It's important to note that proper care and attention are still necessary to ensure longevity and appearance. Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth and keeping the leash from excessive moisture or direct sunlight helps maintain the beauty over time.

Alternatives such as the highest standard of vegan leather are of lower quality. Vegan leather has a short lifespan, tends to discolour and deteriorate within a few years. Vegan leather is much less durable than cow leather and tends to be thinner, causing tears or scuffs over time, potentially causing dangerous situations when the fabric cannot ensure the required structural integrity.

Leather care:

To ensure your MEOMARI product ages gracefully while used on a daily basis, it is significant to follow the following care advice:

Keep your leather product out of direct heat and sunlight for prolonged periods of time as this will cause the leather to dry out, crack or fade unevenly.
If the leather product gets wet, wipe it off with a dry cloth.
If the leather product gets dirty, wipe it off with a damp cloth.
Prevent your dog from swimming while wearing the leather product, as water can damage the leather.
Do not leave the leather product on a wet dog to prevent stains and leather damage.
If the leather product feels dry, it can be treated with leather conditioner (It is advised to test the leather conditioner on an invisible surface prior to treating it onto your product.)
Never attempt to use chemical spot cleaners. For severe stains or damage, consult a leather repair specialist.
When not in use, keep your product stored in a dry place.
Keep in mind that leather is a natural product. This means that colour and texture can vary from product to product. Colours can change over time as it develops a patina, making every product unique.

Choice of hardware:

MEOMARI’s hardware is hand mounted from the highest quality brass and coated with high quality protective coating. Brass hardware is superior in both strength and durability compared to its alternatives. MEOMARI’s hardware is waterproof, hypoallergenic and has antibacterial properties.

Hardware care:

To ensure your MEOMARI product ages gracefully while used on a daily basis, it is significant to follow the following care advice:

Do not leave the hardware wet for long periods of time, use a clean lint-free cloth to dry it.
If the hardware gets dirty, wipe it off with a damp cloth and dry it with a clean lint-free cloth
Do not use harsh chemical cleaners, soap, or cleaning products that contain alcohol, doing so may damage the coating.
Avoid using wet wipes due to the possibility of them containing ingredients that may damage the coating of the hardware. If you mistakenly use wet wipes, do not allow it to air dry and clean it with a damp cloth immediately.
When not in use, keep your product stored in a dry place.

Leather and hardware sizing care:

Perfectly sized collars, harnesses and appropriately matched leashes provide not only the best aesthetic appearance and comfort for your dog. It ensures the products stay in their intended shape. Whenever small sized collars, harnesses and leashes are worn by dogs bigger than the sizes are intended for, the products might not endure the pulling force and start to show signs of stress. To maintain the comfort, quality and beauty of the product, as well as prevent dangerous situations from occurring it is provided to follow the MEOMARI size chart and recommended dog weights per product.
