How to Take Care of Your Favourite Leather Bags

Leather Care Basics
Leather needs constant care. So when you buy a leather bag, make sure you ask the store assistant the best way to care for the bag.
Different types of leather call for nourishing of different kinds.
Know your leather before you do anything with it.
The most basic thing you can do? Remove dirt build-up by wiping the leather down with a cleaner (ask the store about a cleaner they recommend).
A soft dry cloth or a good brush can help too – just wipe your bag with it every once a while. Natural dyed leather must never be near water; moisture can make it shrivel up or become dull. Do remember that marks made by certain items are stubborn and never come off: oils, ball-point
pens and eggs.
Basic Cleaning Ideas
What really is conditioning? Just take a dollop of conditioner and rub gently all over the bag with a soft cloth.
This moisturizes the leather and makes it look fresh. Or look for oils that work well with your leather – just make sure you rub them on the leather and
dry them out. Or ask for the Hidesign Leather Care kit, which contains a cream that protects the leather and
allows its richness to shine through.
Conditioning the Leather
How do you store leather bags? In dust bags, silly. Do make sure you wrap them in butter paper so that they stay supple. Fill the bag with stuffing (paper) so it maintains its original shape. Don’t ever use plastic bags!
Bag Them Up
Airing the Bag
That silica gel that your bag comes with – let it stay so it can prevent dampness.
To prevent mold, just air the bag every once in a month.
Avoid direct sunlight on your bags. At the same time, high humidity can lead to mildew. Tricky, eh? Sunlight can also fade out leather and make it look dull. So store the bag in a place that has good airflow. Remember this fact: leather will develop fungus in the rainy season. Rub it off with a soft cloth dipped in a mild solution of vinegar or Dettol.
Weather Leather
Use a leather protection spray and use it twice a year to make sure the bag stays young in any weather.
It doesn’t take much to keep your bag well-maintained, even if it’s not on a regular basis. For everyday needs, use baby wipes.
Protect the Leather
Maintain the Shape
Leather bags don’t usually lose their shape. But that doesn’t mean you overload them with everything and watch those straps stretch. Make sure your bag only holds your essentials and maintains its shape. Keep it filled with newspaper stuffing or butter paper so it stays in shape. Also, never stuff it into
a closet
Mistakes happen. So if your leather gets too wet, here’s what you got to do. Just air it out, wipe it and let it dry slowly on its own. Trying to dry it forcefully with a hair dryer can be damaging to the leather. Heat can change the structure of your bag, so dry it in room temperature. And don’t put it out to dry in direct sunlight either. Know that direct heat can make your bag develop cracks and turn the leather stiff.
