How to take care of it you haven’t worn in ages?

Guys, I dug out this ZARA leather skirt I hadn’t worn in forever, hyped to take some cute office pics. Then, mid-walk to the coffee station, riiiiipp. It starts peeling like it’s made of tissue paper!

Now I’m stuck here feeling so awkward because it looks like a shredded mess. Like, seriously how does a “leather” skirt fall apart this horribly? ZARA, what’s the deal with this cheapo quality?

Anyway, since you guys probably rock leather pants too, how do you actually keep them from turning into this? Spill your best leather care secrets!

Its falling apart because its not real leather. its fake, nothing will keep it looking like real leather. fake leather will eventually fall apart.
