Care & Maintenance
To keep any leather bag looking beautiful for years to come, handle it with care by avoiding rough surfaces, overloading, and contact with sharp objects.
Conditioning the leather every few months will help maintain its softness and natural beauty over time.
And as my grandmother always told me, never place your purse on the floor, it’s bad luck and invites financial misfortune.
So keep her elevated and treated with love.
How to Care
To keep your única handbag looking its best, it's important to follow these care and maintenance tips:
Dust your leather bag regularly using a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a cleaner specifically formulated for leather, applying it gently in a circular motion. Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking the leather, as these can cause damage.
Leather can dry out over time, leading to cracks and stiffness. Applying a leather conditioner helps keep the material supple and nourished. Use a soft cloth to gently massage the conditioner into the leather, allow it to absorb, and then wipe off any excess.
Leather is susceptible to water damage. If your bag gets wet, gently blot the area with a soft cloth and let it air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources. Do not use a hairdryer or place the bag near a radiator, as excessive heat can cause the leather to warp or crack. Best to use a leather balm or wax to protect it against water damage.
When not in use, store your bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and drying. Keep it in a dust bag or wrapped in a soft cloth to protect it from dust and scratches. Avoid storing heavy items inside the bag to maintain its shape.
Leather is a durable material, but stains like ink and oil can be challenging to remove. Here's how to address these common stains:
To remove ink stains from leather, gently blot the area with a clean cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol, then apply a leather conditioner to restore moisture.
For oil stains, sprinkle cornstarch or baking soda on the spot, let it sit for 15-20 minutes to absorb the oil, then gently brush off the powder and clean with a mild soap solution.
