Luxury Bag Care : Easy Tips to Keep Your Bags Looking Brand New

July 16, 2025

Keep humidity in check: Luxury leather bags do best in environments with 45–55% relative humidity. Too damp? Mold. Too dry? Cracks.
Avoid airtight closets: Unless you’re using a dry cabinet, try not to trap your bags in sealed wardrobes. Go for breathable dust bags and toss in some silica gel – and don’t forget to change them regularly.
Let them breathe: Give your bags some fresh air every now and then. It helps prevent odd smells and keeps them looking fresh.

Light dusting: Gently wipe the surface with a soft cloth or brush to remove daily dirt.
Leather love: Use leather-friendly cleaner or conditioner suited to your bag's material to keep it soft and shiny.
Metal details matter: Polish hardware with a clean cloth and mild metal cleaner if needed.
Avoid harsh cleaners: No alcohol, bleach, or strong chemicals. They’ll ruin the leather.

Stuff it right: Keep its shape by filling with white tissue paper, clean cloth, or bubble wrap (no newspapers!).
Dust bag is a must: Use original or breathable cotton dust bags to protect from dust and UV damage.
No bag pile-ups: Give your bags their own space. Avoid stacking to prevent dents and folds.
Cool, dry, and airy: Store in a well-ventilated area away from humidity and heat.

No sunbathing: Direct sunlight can cause fading or stiff leather.
Rainy days? Skip the fancy bag or spray with a leather-safe waterproof spray in advance. If it gets wet, pat dry and air dry (never blow dry!).
Heat is not your friend: Keep your bag away from heaters, AC vents, or dryers to avoid cracking.

Don't overpack: Too much weight can deform your bag or break handles.
Say no to chemicals: Perfume, makeup, hand sanitizer – keep them away.
Know your leather: Suede, pebbled, lambskin – each needs different care. Read up and treat them accordingly.

Corners and base get the most wear. Use a base shaper or simply place your bag down gently to reduce scuffing.
