Leather Bag Care Tips
An Italian leather handbag should be a staple item in any chic ladies wardrobe. Classic and hardwearing, they are made to last years and always look the part. However, bags are no longer just for women, they are a necessary tool and style accessory for men too! Always stick with a classic type (briefcase, messenger, holdall) and you can't go wrong!
Without a doubt European leather (especially Italian) is the finest in the world! This is well known within the industry.
We also aim to show you how to use it when travelling, as well as presenting you with some fantastic links to help treat and look after your new favourite leather accessory!
Before picking your leather bag try and think of why you want it. Do you want to make a statement? Then you should pick smaller bags with a detailed look. This does not mean a smaller man or woman can't pick a large bag, but it does mean they should make sure it isn't overpowering!
Simple and Classic
Detailed and Stylish
People often mistake grain and small imperfections in leather bags as a fault with the leather. However this is completely untrue. These marks are a sign of good quality leather that has not been corrected! These natural marks give the bags a unique character and antique look.
A more common allergy then you may think is a chrome allergy. If you suffer from this you should opt for vegetable tanned leather bags. Vegetable tanned leather is leather that has been coloured using tree bark, tannin or other natural sources. We have severely scratched a Maxwell Scott document folder to show how these types of marks can be rubbed / buffed out easily. This folder is an amazing 5 years old and been used daily (carries a laptop, A4 papers etc). PLEASE NOTE: This case has been untreated with any cleaning agent or wax. This folder has never been treated by any product just good old spit and polish! Please do not try this with other products as you may leave permanent marks.
However, if you want to clean your bag then mild soap and water is the best option.
If you get oil or grease stains on your handbag they can be lifted by simply grinding ordinary black board chalk,[url=http://www.floware.fr]www.floware.fr[/url]. all you have to do is sprinkle area and leave for 24 hours!
By no means try and use chemicals to clean your leather bag. This can cause more damage than good.
To feed leather bags use natural products such as bees wax, the product needs to penetrate the leather and not leave a coat. We have some great leather cream suggestions at the bottom of this lens.
Do NOT pull loose threads. This is the worst thing you can do! Simply burn the loose thread instead.
Keep it away from the rain. We know this can be hard so if it happens, just wipe away excess moisture and leave it to dry naturally. For quick results stuff it with newspaper to help soak up the water!
Rub candle wax on the zip. This is a great tip if the zip on your bag gets a little stiff, trust us it really works!
Keep it in a cool dry place away from heat. If you are using your bag on a hot summer's day this can be virtually impossible, however use common sense! Keep it away from any direct sunlight or heat source. Heat can actually cook the hide and cause it to stiffen; the fibres unmesh and it can crack.
Do NOT keep it in a plastic bag. This encourages the growth of mildew and can completely ruin your leather bag!
Now that you have bought your leather bag and cared for it as well as possible it may be that you want to travel with it too! These tips are particularly useful if you have purchased a leather holdall or leather suitcase.
Why travel with a leather bag?
Leather bags are perfect for travelling with as they can withstand wear and tear with ease! Not many bags can be taken abroad time and time again, thrown in the back of a plane or car and look brand new each time they are used.
If you are planning on using your leather bag for travelling a key tip is to look for ones that have a very long or lifetime guarantee. You can be sure you will never have to purchase another suitcase again with one of these!
When travelling one of the best ideas is to cross pack into different bags, therefore if you are a victim of theft or a bag gets lost then it is often an inconvenience rather than a disaster! We also recommend you put your contact information on the inside and outside of every luggage bag so that it can be easily returned to you!
