In no case should such a product be washed. It is best to dry clean the skirt to remove dirt. It is also recommended to protect such clothing from direct sunlight.
Ironing of a leather skirt, on which folds have formed due to long lying in the closet, should be done from the wrong side on the minimum iron heating mode. If there is a lining, then ironing is necessarily carried out through it.
In other cases, it is worth putting a piece of cotton fabric on the skin, through which ironing is performed. Do not press hard on the iron and do not hold it in one place for a long time, so that there are no marks on the skirt. The steam function cannot be switched on when processing a leather skirt.
