Faux leather pencil skirts – how to keep them from tearing and cracking

September 11, 2015 by Jean-Marc Chateigner Leave a Comment

I have so many women friends and customers complain about faux leather pencil skirts, saying that they are very weak, not very durable, and a waste of money and efforts to clean and maintain!

But I don’t agree, at all!

For all your faux leather maintenance, I highly recommend saddle soap. Click here to get it!

And I think that faux leather pencil skirts, the ones made with high-quality faux leather fabrics, are very easy to maintain and keep from tearing and cracking, you just need to take the following tips and be a little careful.

The first thing you must understand about faux leather pencil skirts is that if you buy your exact same size, they are going to tear and crack no matter what you do!

This is the reality when it comes to faux leather fabric, it’s not the best when it comes to stretching, and I’m sorry to say this, but if you already have a very tight faux leather pencil skirt, then the only thing you can do is to wear it only occasionally, otherwise, it’s going to start tearing and cracking very soon!

Indeed, when dealing with faux leather, tightness is dangerous, and if you are trying to buy a faux leather pencil skirt, then, always choose one that’s at least one size above your own, this way, you will always keep it looking great and even if you gain some few pounds, it will fit you perfectly.

The second thing you must do is choose the right faux leather pencil skirt, when it comes to the fabric.

Faux leather fabrics are very different and extremely varied in properties and styles, and some of them may be very durable while others tend to be extremely weak and fragile.

And the best guarantee you have is the price.

If you buy a faux leather pencil skirt that’s very cheap, in a scary way, then, you are definitely making a mistake!

And you are probably buying a faux leather fabric which is very weak and not very durable.

And in my opinion, you should not count on it a lot.

How much should a faux leather pencil skirt costs?

If you find a skirt that costs less than ten dollars, then you should stay away from it! Because it’s not even worth the price of the faux leather fabric in it!

The next thing you need to do in order to keep your faux leather pencil skirt from cracking and tearing is to apply a good conditioner.

Yes, you should apply faux leather conditioner even to your pencil skirt, it’s very important to keep it from deteriorating and losing its shine and elasticity.

Remember to use the following conditioner to maintain your faux leather objects cracks free: Click here!

And in my opinion, if you have many faux leather items at home, you have to invest in a good quality conditioner, it’s a must.
