How to properly care for your leather bag (and what you should absolutely not do)

Hey! If you've bought a leather bag, you naturally want it to stay beautiful for a long time. Here are my honest, practical tips:

First things first: Less is more

Many people over-care for their bags. Leather is a natural material – it doesn't need daily attention. Once a month is perfectly sufficient.

What you need:

• A soft, dry cloth
• Leather care product (but please use a good one!)
• patience

Here's how:

1. Remove dust: Simply wipe with a dry cloth. Sounds trivial, but that's half the battle.

2. Care: Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to a cloth and gently massage it in. Not too much! The leather shouldn't shine like a disco ball.

3. Let it soak in: Leave the bag overnight. Give it a quick polish the next day.

What you should NOT do:

❌ Do not use home remedies such as olive oil or shoe polish – these will only damage the leather.
❌ Do not place in direct sunlight
❌ Do not leave outside in the rain (obviously, right?)
❌ Do not wash in the washing machine (yes, some people actually ask this)

My insider tip:

If your bag gets wet: Stuff it with newspaper and let it dry slowly. Do not place it on a radiator!

That's it. No rocket science, just a little love and attention. Your bag will thank you! 💼
