How to maintain a handmade leather bag so it lasts a lifetime?
✨ How to maintain a handmade leather bag? ✨
A handcrafted leather bag is much more than an accessory: it's a unique, handcrafted piece of character. To preserve its beauty and longevity, proper care is essential. Here are our tips for pampering your Ginès Atelier bag.
1. Cleanse gently ❤️
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to dust your bag regularly. If stains occur, use a special leather soap or natural lotion (avoid harsh chemicals).
2. Moisturize the leather 🌿
Leather is a living material. Apply a nourishing milk or special leather cream once or twice a year. This prevents cracking and revives the leather's natural shine.
3. Protect against water and sun 🌞
Although vegetable-tanned leather gains character over time, it remains sensitive to water and UV rays. Use a natural waterproofing agent and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
4. Store carefully 💫
When not in use, store your bag in a fabric pouch. Fill it with tissue paper to keep its shape and avoid laying it flat for too long.
