Leather is a porous material that takes color very well, and stains on it tend to be rather permanent. Scotchgarding and other such procedures are a no-no. The chemicals in them can and will harm the finishes on your mask. You have been warned. Please refrain from teasing your mask.
Cranky masks can be very uncooperative.
You are expected to provide a good home for your new mask. Thank you for adopting a mask from The Merchant of Venice. All rights reserved.
