Care Instructions
Keep your leather looking its best with proper care designed for durability and long-lasting style. Whether you’re in a dry climate or humid region, these simple leather care tips will help protect your investment and maintain the natural beauty of genuine and vegetable-tanned leather goods.
Leather Care Instructions
Our products are crafted from high-quality genuine and vegetable-tanned leather, designed to age beautifully over time. To preserve their look and feel:
- Clean Regularly: Wipe your leather bag or accessory with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with saddle soap or a leather-specific cleaner—avoid soaking the leather.
- Condition as Needed: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to maintain softness and prevent cracking. For vegetable-tanned leather, condition lightly and less often to avoid over-darkening.
- Avoid Excess Moisture: Leather is not waterproof. Vegetable-tanned leather is especially sensitive to water and may develop spots. If wet, gently blot (don’t rub) and let it air dry naturally—never use direct heat.
- Protect from Sun Exposure: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading and darkening. For vegetable-tanned leather, limit early exposure if you prefer a more even patina.
- Store Properly: Keep your leather goods in a breathable dust bag when not in use. Avoid plastic bags, which can trap moisture and lead to mildew.
- Handle with Care: Natural oils from your hands will enhance the leather’s patina over time, especially with vegetable-tanned leather. Avoid contact with oils, perfumes, and harsh chemicals.
- Use Products Sparingly: Vegetable-tanned leather absorbs treatments quickly—always test cleaners or conditioners on a small, hidden area first.
About Vegetable-Tanned Leather
Vegetable-tanned leather is a natural, untreated material that develops a rich patina with use, sunlight, and time. Each piece will darken and gain character, making every bag or accessory uniquely yours.
Climate-Specific Tips (USA-Friendly):
- In humid regions (Southeast, coastal areas), use silica packets or moisture absorbers to prevent mold.
- In dry regions (Texas, Oklahoma, Southwest), condition more frequently to prevent drying and cracking.
- In colder climates, avoid salt exposure and wipe clean after outdoor use.
With the right care, your leather bag, wallet, or accessory will develop a beautiful patina and last for years—crafted to go wherever life takes you.
