How to Maintain Your Leather Bag: Expert Care Tips

Protect Your Leather Bag

After purchase, apply a colorless waterproofing spray from at least 30 cm away to prevent residue marks. One treatment is enough, but even protected, minimize rain exposure. Shield it from fading sunlight—never leave it on a car dashboard. Avoid radiators or heat sources. Also, keep unwashed raw jeans away, as unfixed dyes can bleed onto light leathers, leaving permanent stains.

Clean It Regularly

Wipe away daily dirt with a clean, damp cloth and mild Marseille soap, then air dry. For gentle cleansing, use a cloth or cotton pad with milk cleanser. On suede calfskin or nubuck, brush with a suede tool or white eraser. Patent leather cleans best with a damp sponge. Treat grease stains immediately with Sommières clay. For severe damage like pet urine, seek a professional leather specialist.

Ensure Long-Lasting Beauty

Nourish natural leathers with a balm like Renapur (100% natural, color-reviving). Prevent varnish cracks by massaging in glycerin or petroleum jelly. When storing long-term, use a breathable cover to guard against light, humidity, and abrasive dust. B. J. Thanks to the Nat & Nin brand.
