How to care for leather

High-quality leather products can be used beautifully for a long time with proper care.
Natural leather develops a deeper texture as it is used, growing into a unique expression all its own.

Here, we introduce daily care methods.


1. Daily Care

Routine care is very simple.

  • Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

  • Remove dust and dirt.

  • Store in a well-ventilated area.

Even this alone can keep the leather in good condition.


2. Moisturizing with Leather Cream

Since leather is a natural material, it can become stiff if it dries out.
Regular use of leather cream moisturizes the leather and keeps it in beautiful condition. We use Jewel's Mink Oil (https://jewelweb.jp/products/261/).

Instructions

  1. Remove surface dirt with a soft cloth.

  2. Apply a small amount of leather cream to a cloth.

  3. Apply thinly and evenly.

  4. Lightly buff with a dry cloth.

※A small amount of cream is sufficient.


3. If the leather gets wet in the rain

Leather is a material that is vulnerable to water.
If it gets wet, please care for it using the following method:

  • Gently wipe away moisture with a dry cloth.

  • Avoid direct sunlight and hair dryers.

  • Allow to air dry in a well-ventilated area.

After it is completely dry, moisturizing with leather cream will help maintain a better condition.


4. Storage Method

If you will not be using it for an extended period, the following methods are recommended:

  • Avoid direct sunlight.

  • Avoid high temperatures and humidity.

  • Insert paper or similar material to prevent distortion.


5. Leather Aging (Patina)

The charm of natural leather lies in how its texture changes with use.

  • The color deepens.

  • Increased luster.

  • Becomes soft and conforming to the hand.

This is a unique characteristic of genuine leather and one of the joys of using it for a long time.


Finally

British Bag's leather products grow more charming the longer they are cherished.
Please enjoy the aging process of your leather while having fun with daily care.
