How to care for a leather bag: 8 small habits for years of wear

1. Stuff it with paper when storing to keep its shape.
2. Store it in a breathable dust bag, never a sealed plastic bag.
3. Add silica gel packs to your wardrobe, especially in humid months.
4. Wipe off dust weekly with a soft dry cloth.
5. Condition every 2–3 months with a colourless leather balm.
6. Don't hang heavy bags by the handles for long; they stretch.
7. Caught in the rain? Blot dry immediately and air-dry away from direct heat.
8. PU leather: keep away from heat and oil, which crack the coating.
