TotemBand Leather Bracelet – Care Instructions
Your TotemBand leather bracelet is crafted from premium 3 mm braided leather bolo cord, custom-printed PLA beads, and durable stainless-steel clasps. To keep it looking its best:
Leather Care
- Avoid water exposure: Leather can dry, warp, or weaken when wet. Remove before swimming, showering, or heavy sweating.
- Keep away from chemicals: Perfume, lotions, sunscreen, insect repellent, and cleaning products can stain or degrade leather.
- Avoid prolonged sunlight: UV exposure may fade the colour or dry out the leather over time.
- Cleaning: Wipe gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth only. Do not soak.
- Condition occasionally: A small amount of leather conditioner (applied sparingly) will help maintain softness and prevent cracking.
PLA Bead Care
- Wipe with a soft cloth when dusty.
- Avoid direct heat sources (hot cars, intense sun through a window). PLA can soften at high temperatures.
Stainless Steel Clasp Care
- 304 matte gunmetal or 316 stainless steel clasps resist rust, but:
- Rinse with fresh water if exposed to salt water or sweat.
- Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners that may dull the matte finish.
TotemBand Paracord Bracelet – Care Instructions
Your TotemBand paracord bracelet is made from durable 3 mm paracord with a custom PLA bead and stainless-steel clasp.
Paracord Care
- Water-friendly: Paracord is strong and can get wet without damage.
- If soaked, let it air-dry fully before wearing again to prevent odour or mildew.
- Avoid harsh chemicals: Bleach or solvents can discolour or weaken the fibres.
- Cleaning: Hand-wash gently with mild soap and water if it becomes dirty, then air-dry.
PLA Bead Care
- Clean with a soft cloth as needed.
- Keep away from prolonged heat sources to prevent warping.
Stainless Steel Clasp Care
- Both matte gunmetal 304 and 316 grades are corrosion-resistant.
- To maintain finish:
Rinse and dry after exposure to salt water or sweat.
Avoid abrasive scrubbing to preserve the matte texture.
