Tips on Caring for Your Semi-Full Grain Leather Belt
- Remove it from the plastic bag and keep it in a well-ventilated place. Do not expose to direct sunlight.
- The best way to store a belt is to hang it from its buckle. Avoid folding it up in a drawer.
- Wear it often, but avoid wearing it daily (or wearing it too tightly) to prevent stretching the belt. Giving it a break every other day will help to retain its original shape.
- Condition the belt with a soft cloth and leather balm once every 3-6 months.
- To remove dust or dirt, brush the belt gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush or shoe brush.

Free Sunscreen Lotion in Support of World Cancer Day on 4th Feb
World Cancer Day is marked on February 4 to raise awareness of cancer and to encourage its prevention, detection, and treatment. It is led by the International Union Against Cancer (UICC), a global consortium of more than 350 cancer-fighting organizations in over 100 countries.
The UICC initiated the World Cancer Campaign in 2005 in response to the Charter of Paris of 2000. The Charter of Paris chose 4th February as World Cancer Day. Since 2006, UICC has coordinated World Cancer Day activities, supported by members, partners, the World Health Organization, the International Atomic Energy Agency, and other international bodies.
The campaign emphasizes that 40% of cancers can be prevented through these healthy behaviors:
- Provide a smoke-free environment for children
- Be physically active, eat a balanced, healthy diet, and avoid obesity
- Learn about vaccines for virus-related liver and cervical cancers
- Avoid over-exposure to the sun
From 2008 to 2011, each year will focus on a different issue:
- 2008 – give children and young people a smoke-free environment
- 2009 – encourage an energy-balanced lifestyle based on healthy diet and physical activity
- 2010 – learn about vaccines against viruses that cause cancers (e.g. HPV vaccines)
- 2011 – teach children and teenagers to avoid UV exposure by being "sun smart"
Source: Wikipedia, ‘World Cancer Day’
In support of this meaningful cause, customers who make a minimum purchase of $20 at GreatValueBuys.com from now to 4-Feb (Fri) will receive a free 15ml tube of sunscreen lotion (SPF 30+). Customers will be able to choose from three types of sunscreen, including Toddler, Sensitive, and Family.
Hurry up, get your free sunscreen lotion… while stocks last~!

Full Grain Leather vs. Genuine Leather
Ever wondered what exactly is a “Genuine Leather” belt, and how is it different from a “Real Leather” belt? Want to know how to differentiate synthetic leather from real leather?
We'll try to shed some light on this mystery through evaluating the difference in Price, Material, Texture, and Appearance, as well as performing a Scratch Test and Fire Test (don’t try this at home~!) to distinguish synthetic leather from real leather.
It's almost impossible to create a table in blogger, so I've done it in Excel and saved the comparison table as a picture. Pardon the blurry text:
We believe in educating our consumers so that they can make informed decisions.
Hope you learnt something new today~!
