Leather Bag Care and Cleaning Guide | Faux Leather and Genuine Leather Bags

Common Questions on Leather Bag Care

• Avoid Prolonged Sun Exposure: Do not expose your leather bag to direct sunlight for extended periods, and avoid using it in heavy rain to prevent damage, warping, or cracking.
• Water Protection: Try to keep leather away from water. If the bag gets wet, gently blot the surface with a clean cloth and allow it to air-dry in a cool, ventilated place. Avoid using a hair dryer or placing the bag in sunlight, as heat may cause leather to warp or crack.
• Storage Conditions: When storing, place your bag in a well-ventilated, dry area away from direct sunlight.

Long-Term Care for Bags Not in Use

• Storing Straps: If you won’t be using the bag for a while, detach any removable straps and store them on a shelf or in a drawer. Hanging a bag with straps for prolonged periods may reduce its longevity.
• Maintaining Shape: When not in use, empty the contents to prevent pressure marks. Avoid placing the bag where it lacks structural support. Use inserts or stuffing inside to help it retain its shape, and avoid placing heavy items on it to prevent dents or friction marks. Store the bag on a shelf and cover it with a dust bag or cotton cloth to prevent dust buildup and sun exposure.

Choosing Cleaning Agents and Cleaning Tips

• Regular Cleaning: Clean your leather bag periodically to extend its lifespan and preserve its shine. Use a soft brush to gently remove dust, and apply a leather moisturizer or specialized leather care oil.
• Avoid Alcohol-Based Cleaners: Do not use alcohol-based products, as they can damage leather. Choose an alcohol-free leather cleaner and gently wipe the surface to prevent dirt from embedding into the leather permanently.

Note: The above guidelines are for reference only. Please adjust care based on the specific condition and material of your bag.
