Here are five essential tips for caring for leather bags:
Regular Cleaning:
Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the surface of the leather bag to remove surface dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, consider using a leather cleaner, but always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Conditioning:
Leather can dry out and lose its natural oils over time. To prevent this, apply a leather conditioner or cream every few months. This will keep the leather supple and prevent it from becoming brittle or cracking.
Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat:
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat can cause the leather to fade and dry out. Always store your leather bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Protect from Moisture and Spills:
If your leather bag gets wet, do not use a hairdryer or place it near a heater. Instead, wipe off the excess water with a soft cloth and let it air dry naturally. If you spill something on the bag, blot it gently (don't rub) with a clean, dry cloth.
