Stop preconceived ideas: cleaning your leather is easy and even essential to keep it in good condition for a long time.
I remember the Sunday evenings when I was on shoe duty at my parents' house... but I still remember the smell of shoe polish and the satisfaction of finding new shoes.
What to do to clean a leather bag? I explain everything in video and also detail the steps below.
Of course this also works for shoes, the sofa, the jacket or the motorcycle saddle!
I'm sure you have what it takes to get started at home.
Otherwise you can get our MAINTENANCE KIT
My leather: I care for it, I maintain it
Degreasing
clear water + cotton cloth + Marseille soap
Please note that not all leathers like water: test on an invisible area such as the inside of the bag for example.
Rub in circles to loosen dirt
Don't put too much water
Rinse with clean water using a second cloth
If the result does not suit you visually, it may be time to think about a dye: let's get a quote together.
MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH KAROLINE BY VIDEO OR AT THE WORKSHOP
Hydration
Remove residue and nourish
cleansing milk + brush
The fibers of the brush will penetrate the fibers of the leather well
Make circular movements and don't skimp, it should strengthen your arm muscles!
Remove excess without rinsing.
Shoe polish
Healthy glow effect
oily shoe polish paste + cloth
Would you put foundation on dirty skin?
Never apply your shoe polish without first cleaning it.
This step is optional, it allows you to revive the color but not to dye it.
Only choose polishes where the pigments are concentrated and solvent-free, such as hard pastes for example.
Protection
Protect from bad weather
grease + sponge or cloth
The circle remains our favorite figure: always the same gesture, insist on the most damaged parts
Polishing
Make it shine
dry and clean brush
This involves removing the excess and thereby polishing your leather.
Watch it shine and enjoy that feeling of satisfaction
TO YOUR RAGS!
