LEATHER

Leather is a popular material for jackets, sweaters, skirts and pants.  Though manufacturers are careful to use suede or leather trimmings that do not bleed, frequently the problem of bleeding will occur if there is a dark colored trimming in combination with a light fabric.  In addition, items trimmed with real leather, or leather covered buttons or buckles can not only lose dye, but break from friction and rubbing in normal wear or routine dry-cleaning.  This problem usually occurs because the manufacturer used an inferior leather covering where the cleaning process may have accentuated the condition.  Unfortunately, a "dry cleanable" label is not necessarily a guarantee of serviceability.  Make your cleaner aware of your knowledge of the issue and your concern that if the trimming is unserviceable and it should be returned.
