Leather holds moisture, and persistent moisture poses a mildew risk.
Mildew can grow on any wet surface under the right conditions. Leather naturally consists of mold-friendly nutrients, so if you want to avoid mildew growth on your leather bags, jackets or other leather articles, you must take proactive measures to keep the material clean and dry.
Typical humidity levels in Singapore may hit as high as 90% RH, this is bad for storage of such goods; it could cause your branded handbags, shoes, precious accessories, and collections to turn moldy, deteriorating, discolouring, aged, oxidized, stained, rotting, getting bad odours, or loosening their lustre.
These damages not only affect the value of your precious items, but also waste your time, effort and money to correct the problems, e.g., repair, maintenance, cleaning up.
Therefore it is so important to invest in a quality dehumidifier to preserve your quality luxury goods. The usage of a dehumidifier at settings 30~50% would be best to maintain leather and faux leather products. (Note: Humidity set too low will cause leather to crack easily.)
