Storing the jacket on a clothes hanger can also prevent wrinkles on leather so make sure not to fold and keep away from direct sunlight and other heat sources.
  • Iron with Care: Using too much heat on delicate fabrics can ruin them so make sure to used the right level of heat when ironing.
  • For your Favourite Footwear: Always make sure that your shoes have a space in the closet to line up on the floor or shelves. Never throw it into a big bin and compile with other shoes because it can scuff the material.
