Condition a dry leather bag

Whena smooth leather bag feels dry

Check that the bag maker permits conditioner on this leather. Use its recommended product, a clean soft cloth and a small hidden test area.

Steps
  1. Remove loose dirt as the maker directs; let the bag dry.
  2. Apply a little conditioner to the hidden area. Wait at least an hour, or the label’s longer time; check for colour change.
  3. If acceptable, apply sparingly in gentle circles, following the product’s drying and buffing directions.

Start tiny

Identify the leather finish before choosing a product.

SafetyNo suede, nubuck, patent, metallic or unknown finishes without specific maker approval. Stop for tackiness or colour change; cracks need repair advice.
