Leather 101: A Comprehensive Care Guide

Leather 101: A Comprehensive Care Guide

Investing in a premium leather bag isn't just about making a statement today. It's about choosing a companion for the years and journeys ahead.

1 | Weather and Sunlight

Leather is highly resilient, but environmental factors like water and extreme sunlight are its natural adversaries.

If a sudden downpour catches you off guard, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe away the surface moisture.

Never use artificial heat like a hairdryer or place it near a radiator.

A premium bag is only as functional as its hardware. When using your bag, always be gentle and pull your zippers in a straight line to avoid unnecessary tension and rapid wear and tear.

It’s tempting to pack your entire day into one space, but overstuffing forces the zippers out of alignment and stretches the leather seams out of shape.

3 | Conditioning and Protection

Just like your skin, premium leather requires hydration to maintain its suppleness and natural shine.

Every few months, treat your bag to a light application of a high-quality leather conditioner or natural beeswax with a soft cloth.

Pro-Tip : Test a small, hidden spot first to see how the leather reacts.

4 | Keeping Your Bag in Shape

To prevent your bag from losing its pristine silhouette, remember to
fill the bag’s interior with acid-free tissue paper, slip your bag into a protective dust bag, and always store your bag upright on a flat shelf. 

Never stack other bags or heavy items on top of it, as this can permanently warp the shape. For bags with a slouchy silhouette like
our 193 Hobo, lie them flat horizontally.

A great leather bag doesn't wear out; it wears in.

By taking just a few minutes to clean, condition, and storing your bag properly, you are preserving a piece of craftsmanship that will only look better with age.
