Rowani leather jacket - By Malene Birger - Black

Gently blot the stain with a clean, damp cloth. For tougher stains, consult a professional leather cleaner.

No, the Rowani leather jacket should not be machine washed. Leather can be damaged by water and machine agitation.

Condition the leather every 6-12 months, or as needed, depending on how often you wear the jacket and the climate you live in.

Store the jacket in a breathable garment bag in a cool, dry place. Avoid plastic bags, which can trap moisture.

Take the jacket to a tailor or leather repair specialist for zipper replacement.

Specialty leather care products are available at most leather goods stores or online retailers.

Lubricate the zipper with a wax pencil or zipper lubricant. Avoid pulling the zipper too hard.

Gently rub the area with a leather-specific balm or conditioner to help minimize the appearance.

Allow the jacket to air dry naturally, away from direct heat. Avoid using a hairdryer.
