To optimally maintain the longevity and natural patina of your hand-stitched leather belt bag, the following care products and measures are recommended: - Leather cream or leather balm: These keep the smooth leather supple, protect it from drying out, and provide it with essential nutrients. Products containing beeswax also form a protective layer against moisture.
- Waterproofing: A suitable waterproofing spray protects the bag from moisture, dirt, and water stains. This should be reapplied before first use and then every six to eight weeks.
- Gentle cleaning: Dust and light soiling should be removed regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth (ideally with distilled water) or a special leather brush.
- Proper storage: When not in use, store the bag in a breathable fabric bag (made of cotton or linen) in a well-ventilated place to protect it from dust and UV light.
- Caution when wet: Should the leather get wet, allow it to air dry gently and avoid direct heat sources such as heaters or sunlight, as the leather may otherwise become porous.
