Caring for Your Leather Bag

Tan leather saddle bag

Full grain leather is made to last, and a few minutes of care every season keeps a bag looking its best for years.

Clean gently

Wipe away dust with a soft dry cloth. For marks, use a barely damp cloth and let the bag dry naturally, away from radiators and direct sun.

Feed it twice a year

A small amount of leather balm keeps the hide supple. Test it on a hidden corner first, work it in with circular strokes and buff off the rest.

Store it with care

Stuff the bag with tissue so it keeps its shape, and keep it in the cotton dust bag it came in. Plastic traps moisture and should be avoided.
