Maintenance and Care

To maintain the quality and appearance of your leather satchel bag, follow these care guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
• Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
• Protection: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. If the bag gets wet, gently blot it dry with a clean cloth and allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
• Storage: When not in use, store the bag in its dust bag (if provided) in a cool, dry place. Stuff the bag with tissue paper to help retain its shape.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or alcohol-based products, as these can damage the leather finish.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common concerns:

• Stains on Leather: For minor stains, try a specialized leather stain remover. For oil-based stains, a small amount of cornstarch or talcum powder can absorb the oil before gentle brushing. Consult a professional leather cleaner for stubborn stains.
• Zipper Sticking: Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., beeswax or a graphite pencil) to the zipper teeth and gently work the zipper back and forth.
• Loss of Shape: If the bag loses its shape, stuff it with soft materials like tissue paper or bubble wrap when storing to help it regain its form.
