Leather Care and Maintenance Guide

Proper care helps maintain the appearance and longevity of leather products. This guide applies to leather handbags, shoulder bags, backpacks, duffle bags, and travel bags.

General Care

  • Store leather items in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. If leather becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally at room temperature.

  • Remove surface dust regularly using a soft, dry cloth.

  • Avoid overloading bags to help maintain their original shape.

Cleaning

  • Clean leather using a soft, slightly damp cloth. Wipe gently without excessive rubbing.

  • Do not use harsh chemicals, solvents, or household cleaners.

  • For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for natural leather and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

  • Always test any cleaning product on a small, inconspicuous area before full application.

Conditioning

  • Apply a leather conditioner periodically to help keep the leather soft and flexible.

  • Use only conditioners intended for leather care.

  • Conditioning frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions.

Storage

  • When not in use, store leather products in a breathable fabric dust bag.

  • Avoid plastic covers, as leather requires air circulation.

  • Lightly stuff bags with clean paper or fabric to help maintain their shape during storage.

Natural Characteristics of Leather

  • Genuine leather may display natural variations in colour, texture, grain, or markings.

  • These characteristics are inherent to natural leather and are not considered defects.

  • With regular use, leather may develop a patina, which is a normal part of the aging process.

What to Avoid

  • Do not machine wash or soak leather products.

  • Avoid contact with oils, perfumes, or alcohol-based substances.

  • Do not place leather items near heaters, radiators, or other heat sources.

Disclaimer

Leather is a natural material. Changes in colour, softness, texture, and surface markings may occur over time with regular use. These changes are considered part of the normal aging process of genuine leather products.
