store it in a dry place
To protect leather against mildew, treat with low-pressure aerosol sprays that carry specific directions. Shoe and luggage stores may have these aerosol sprays that have been specially made for leather goods.
Before treating the article, test the spray on a small area where it will not show. Do this to see whether it will change the color of the leather. Repeat the treatment as directed on the label.

Caution
Do not inhale the mist from the spray and do not use spray near flame. Follow all precautions given on the can.
Another way to protect leather goods is to apply a good wax dressing. A thin coat of floor wax applied to shoes � to both the uppers and the soles � keeps moisture out and helps prevent mildew. Some commercially available waxes or silicon resins have antimildew properties. However, some shoe dressings contain antifungicidal ingredients that might discolor white or light-colored leather.

During warm, humid weather, protect stored shoes, jackets, luggage and other leather articles with paradichlorobenzene or paraformaldehyde.  Wrap the articles along with the chemical in packages and seal them. If there is any plastic on these articles, do not use paradichlorobenzene. Leather goods can also be protected by wiping them with a solution of 3/8 ounce (11 g) of salicylanilide in 1 quart (0.95 liters) of rubbing alcohol. Dry the articles before putting them away.

Jesus, anyone ever heard of 'Paradichlorabenzene' straight from a textbook!!!!!

Get an old sock, fill it with cat litter and place inside.
