Leather Care 101: How to Maintain Your Leather Accessories

By Rachel Thompson·May 05, 2026

Leather is a durable and beautiful material that lasts for years when properly cared for. Here's how to maintain your leather accessories.

Cleaning

Wipe leather with a soft, dry cloth regularly to remove dust. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Never soak leather or use harsh chemicals.

Conditioning

Apply leather conditioner every 3-6 months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Use a small amount and buff with a soft cloth.

Storage

Store leather goods in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use dust bags when available and stuff bags with tissue paper to maintain their shape.

Avoiding Damage

  • Keep leather away from water — if it gets wet, pat dry immediately
  • Avoid extreme heat and humidity
  • Don't overload wallets and bags beyond their capacity
  • Use leather protector spray for added water resistance

When to Replace

Quality leather goods can last 5-10 years with proper care. Replace when the leather becomes excessively worn, cracked, or the stitching fails.

Our genuine leather products are crafted for durability. With proper care, they'll serve you well for years to come.
