One of the most elegant, stylish ways to preserve your memories is with a leather scrapbook album. You can find albums that are designed to preserve wedding memories, family photos, or simply for scrap-booking anything you might want to look back on later.
Leather can be stamped and personalized. It can also be painted. There are many options for leather scrapbook albums and leather wedding albums. There may be specialty stores in your area that carry leather albums, however your first option should be to research online before heading out the door. It will save time and money to be prepared. You will also want to be sure you are buying genuine leather and not faux leather. A faux leather may have the look and feel of real leather but won’t hold up as well.
When looking at leather albums you will find different grades of leather. You will also find leather from different animal sources. Many albums are constructed in such a way that you can add pages if you need to expand the size of the album.
You can buy leather wedding photo albums. As the name implies these albums will allow for you to put your photos in the album but don’t allow for personalization and may not allow you to add pages.

Store your album in a temperature controlled environment where the humidity is relatively constant. You don’t want to store leather in a basement, attic, or garage.
A nice leather album makes a great addition to the coffee table or the display case. You can also put them on a bookshelf. If your album gets fingerprints on it, use a soft cloth to wipe it off. If you need to remove minor scuffs or scratches use a leather conditioner. When using leather conditioner, if there is a way to take the album apart do so, otherwise, use extreme caution. It is important not to risk getting conditioner on the photos or the contents of the pages.
You will find leather albums in a wide variety of colors, sizes, and price ranges. If you are going to invest in the elegance of leather be sure you check the quality of the entire album.

Your album needs to have acid free pages and should be user friendly.
Preserving your memories for years and generations to come is as simple as choosing the right album. With leather you will have an elegant style that you will be proud to display.
