Practical care advice
Regular care suited to the material protects open-pored leather from drying out, loss of tension and premature wear.
Clean gently
Remove dust and light dirt with a soft, dry cloth. For smooth leather, a slightly damp cloth is enough.
Avoid alcohol, solvents and harsh cleaners - they can dry out the surface.
Nubuck and brushed surfaces
A soft brush is suitable for nubuck leather. Work with light pressure and in one direction.
Blot stains early rather than rubbing them. A water-based proofing spray can help protect against moisture.
Protection from sun, heat and wet
Leather reacts to its environment. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, strong heat and lasting moisture.
If a bag gets wet, let it dry at room temperature - not on a radiator or with a hairdryer.
Store correctly
Store bags in a dry, well-ventilated place. For longer storage, fill them with paper or soft fabric to keep their shape.
Use the dust bag and never store leather airtight or in plastic.
Choose care products carefully
Apply a colourless leather cream or leather balm for vegetable-tanned leather sparingly. Let it absorb and gently buff off any residue.
A few applications a year are usually enough.
Longevity as an understanding of material
Well-cared-for leather stays supple, hard-wearing and develops a natural patina. A simple routine extends its life considerably.
