Care
Take care of your leather bag
Vachetta leather is one of the most exclusive materials nature can provide us. Use your bag with care and think about reading through our advice below to increase the lifespan of your bag.
Weather
Always avoid rain as leather and water do not belong together. If your bag has become wet, wipe it with a clean cloth as soon as possible and let it dry indoors. Make sure that the bag does not stand or stay too long under direct bright sunlight as the leather can be dried out and change color.
Scratches/stains
Sometimes the damage is inevitable and there is a stain or scratch. We always recommend turning to a shoemaker or professional cleaner.
Genuine leather
It is always good to take care of your bag and therefore be sure to regularly wipe the bag with a slightly damp cloth to clean the leather. Be careful not to rub too hard during cleaning. If your bag has a grease stain, avoid water and only clean with a cloth. Genuine leather smells but it will subside over time. There is a small risk that leather may stain at the beginning in connection with, for example, wetting on light-colored clothes.
Durability
Make sure to never overpack your bag both in terms of volume and weight for longer durability. When you're not using your bag, a good tip is to use filling paper to maintain a good shape.
