Tips for Care, Maintenance, and Longevity

Whether you’ve just purchased a new leather bag or are looking to extend the life of an old favorite, proper care and maintenance are essential.

In this guide, we've complied everything you need to know to keep your leather bag looking its best for years to come.

1. Regular Cleaning

Wipe down your leather bag with a soft cloth to remove dust and dirt.

Avoid using harsh chemicals.

Always test any cleaning solutions on a small, inconspicuous area before applying to the entire bag,

2. Hydrating the Leather

Just like your skin, leather needs moisture to stay soft and supple.

For full-grain leather bag, apply leather conditioner once every three to six months.

This helps nourish the leather and keep it from drying out or cracking.

Pro tip:

3. Keeping It Dry

While leather loves moisture, it doesn’t do well with water.

Avoid exposing your bag to water whenever possible, as excess water can stain or warp the leather.

If it does get wet, gently blot it dry with a soft cloth and let it air dry naturally.

Never put it in direct heat to speed up the process!

4. Avoiding Direct Sunlight

Always store your leather bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

When you're not using it, keep it in a dust bag or cabinet to protect it from fading or discoloring.

5. Air Out the Fresh Leather Smell

It’s normal for your new leather bag to have a slight smell - it’s just the fresh leather scent, or sometimes from storage before shipping.

To get rid of it, air it out in a well-ventilated spot for three to five days.

Remember to avoid direct sunlight or heat, as that can dry out the leather.

By following these simple steps, you can keep your bag looking as stunning as the day you got it.
