5 Tips to Care for your Leather Bag
2.
Stuff your bag to maintain its shape
All handbags, no matter their size, will benefit from stuffing. It's the best way for them to keep their shape over time. Especially if you won't be using them for a while. All our bags are shipped with paper stuffing. Remember to keep it after you unwrap your new bag. If you’ve already tossed it, acid-free tissue paper will do. Don’t use newspaper, the ink may stain the inside of your bag!

Keep your dust bag
4.
Store your bags on a shelf
5.
Use the right product for the right leather
Pro Tip
For our smooth leather bags, I recommend using a soft unscented wet wipe to clean off any dust or dirt from your bag as soon as an accident happens. And don't forget the hardware. Some bags have precious metal-plated buckles or chains which can tarnish over time. For our bags, I would recommend a metal & silver cream based product when you see the hardware is starting to look a little darker. All you need is a tiny drop of cream and a cotton swab. Be careful to cover the leather around the hardware before you clean it as the cream may stain the leather.
