Leather Care
Caring for Classic Leather
I have always loved working with leather because it has a life of its own. A good leather bag will soften, deepen in color, and carry small marks from the places it has been. With a little care, it will only become more beautiful over time.
Clean, Gently
- Wipe your bag with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust from everyday use.
- For small marks, use a lightly damp cloth and a gentle leather cleaner. Do not soak the leather or scrub it.
Condition with Care
- Leather can become dry, so I suggest using a leather conditioner once or twice a year.
- Apply only a small amount with a soft cloth, rub it in gently, and let the leather absorb it before buffing lightly.
Protect from the Elements
- Keep your bag away from strong sunlight, heaters, and damp places.
- If it gets wet, pat it dry with a clean towel and let it dry naturally. Do not use heat to dry it.
Store Thoughtfully
- When you are not using it, keep your bag in a breathable dust bag or soft fabric cover.
- Fill it with tissue paper so it keeps its shape, and store it somewhere cool and dry.
