What are the small marks on ostrich leg leather?
Please note: It is perfectly normal for ostrich leg leather to feature small natural marks such as wrinkles, scratches, kiss marks or veins. These are usually found in the small scales area, but sometimes also around the large scales. This is a natural feature of the leather and it is in no way considered to be an imperfection, but rather a unique characteristic of each skin. Further, it is perfectly normal for the large scales to part somewhat from the surface of the leather. This adds to the distinct “reptilian” look of the leather. The scales are firmly attached to the leather on the top part of the scales and will NOT fall off.

How to keep ostrich leather from drying out?
Instead, it’s best to keep your ostrich leather in a cool, dry place when not being used, and covered in a clean box or dust bag to prevent dust settlement. You will want to avoid exposing your ostrich leather to situations where she’ll get spills or wet, but when that inevitable oversight strikes, remove as much moisture as you can by dabbing it up with a soft, dry cloth. Remember: blot, don't smear. If there is a stain, use a damp cloth when blotting to transfer the substance, and wipe the rest of the leather with another damp cloth to ensure the item dries evenly. Take care of any stains sooner rather than later, before they can set in. If an oil or grease stain does set in, no worries! You’ll want to sprinkle talcum powder over the stain to absorb the oil, and wait about an hour. Brush the powder away with a soft cloth (not a brush or paper product), and the stain should be gone. Huzzah!
How to clean ostrich leather?
Depending on what you are using your ostrich leather for, you may want to clean off excess dirt and dust with a soft cloth prior to cleaning it. If you are working with boots, for example, they may have a lot of mud caked on them which will make cleaning difficult. When the surplus is gone, wipe the surface of your leather gently and evenly with a damp cloth, and allow it to dry indoors in a cool place away from sunlight and direct heat. If the leather is still dirty, you will need to find a suitable cleaner. Veer away from commercial leather cleaners and leather conditioners as a rule of thumb with exotic leather and ostrich leather care. Instead, try to find a leather cleaner specifically designed for exotic leather, and test it before you begin. Wipe a small amount in a discreet area of the leather, and watch its result after it dries. If there is no discoloration or other problem, your cleaner should be good. Wipe it evenly across the entire surface, and then wipe off any excess leather cleaner with a dry cloth. Let the leather dry indoors naturally in the aforementioned cool, indoors area away from sunlight and direct heat. If you are in a hurry, a fan can be used to speed up the process.
