How to care for the leather of a women's crossbody bag?

The key to caring for a women's crossbody leather bag is to keep it dry, avoid direct sunlight, clean it regularly and maintain it properly. ‌

‌Keep it dry‌: Leather bags should be kept away from water, especially in rainy and snowy weather. If they are accidentally stained with water, they should be wiped dry with a soft dry cloth immediately to keep the leather surface dry and prevent water stains on the leather surface or cause wrinkles and deformation of the bag‌.


‌Avoid direct sunlight‌: Leather materials are prone to hardening or cracking after exposure to the sun, so leather bags should never be exposed to the sun or roasted to prevent brittleness, cracking or shrinkage‌.


‌Clean regularly‌: Leather has strong absorption capacity. It is recommended to use a dry towel to wet it and wring it out every week, and wipe it repeatedly to prevent stains. For metal accessories, if there is slight oxidation, you can wipe it with a silver cloth or copper oil cloth‌.


‌Proper maintenance‌: Regularly use special leather maintenance oil, such as walrus leather hand mask, for maintenance to nourish the leather surface, while playing the role of waterproofing, anti-corrosion, anti-mildew and anti-aging‌2. If it is not used for a long time, in order to prevent the leather from hardening and aging, you can take it out every few months and apply some chicken oil or butter to moisturize the leather surface‌.


‌Reasonable storage‌: Unused genuine leather bags should be placed in a dry and ventilated place. It is best to use a cotton bag to store it. If there is no suitable bag, an old pillowcase is also suitable. It is best to stuff some cloth, a small pillow or white paper in the bag to keep the shape of the bag. The storage cabinet should be kept ventilated, but a desiccant can be placed in the cabinet‌.


The above care methods can effectively extend the service life of the genuine leather ladies' messenger bag and maintain its beauty and performance.
