HOW TO PROPERLY CARE FOR A LEATHER BAG


You may be surprised to learn that caring for a leather bag is similar to caring for your face. A bag also needs to be cleaned and moisturised. Careful handling allows the leather to reveal its natural beauty, preserving the expressiveness of the shape and character of the product for many years.

A genuine leather bag should be wiped with a dry soft cloth from time to time to remove dust and fingerprints. This simple action prevents the accumulation of dirt and helps to keep the leather surface smooth and clean. To maintain the elasticity of the leather, use only specialised premium quality products.

Leather is sensitive to moisture and sudden temperature changes. If your bag gets wet, gently wipe it with a soft cloth and let it dry at room temperature, away from heat sources. Natural drying preserves the structure of the material and prevents deformation.

We recommend treating suede bags with a water-repellent spray before using them for the first time. You will also need a rubber brush and a special cleaning foam for suede. It is enough to clean a suede bag at least a couple of times a month.

Do not touch the bag after using hand cream, as it may leave greasy stains. If a stain does appear, do not wash it off with water under any circumstances; simply blot it with a dry soft cloth or paper towel.

Before storing your bag, fill it with soft fabric or paper to prevent it from losing its shape. Store your bag in a dust bag in a place protected from light. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can affect the colour of the leather.

Try not to carry light-coloured bags with denim clothing or dark or contrasting fabrics (e.g. denim). Dye stains are among the most difficult to remove.

Do not use household cleaning products, alcohol, acetone or universal wipes. In case of serious contamination, it is recommended to consult a specialist.

Remember that proper storage and care of the bag will allow you to significantly extend its life.
