Cleaning Leather Juttis and Mojris Properly
Launch library · evergreen read
Leather juttis and mojris need different care from fabric footwear, since leather requires conditioning to stay supple and can crack or dry out if simply left untreated between wears, particularly in climates with significant seasonal humidity swings across the year, a small step that costs little but prevents considerably more trouble later on.
Wiping away surface dirt with a soft, slightly damp cloth immediately after wear prevents grime from settling into the leather's texture, while a specialist leather conditioner applied periodically keeps the material flexible and prevents the stiffness that can eventually lead to cracking around embellished areas, something worth remembering the next time a similar decision needs to be made.
Embroidered or embellished sections should be cleaned more carefully than plain leather, avoiding excess moisture that could damage thread or metallic work. Storing juttis with a shoe form or stuffed with soft paper helps maintain their shape between the occasional, festive wears they typically see.
