How to Care for Your Genuine Leather Bag – NUA BAGS Leather Care Guide
A genuine leather bag is more than just an accessory — it’s a long-term investment that becomes part of your everyday style. Since natural leather is a living material, it needs proper care to stay beautiful for years. With the right maintenance, your NUA BAGS handmade leather bag will age gracefully and look even better over time.
Here’s how to keep your leather bag in perfect condition.
Clean Your Leather Bag Regularly
To protect the surface of your handcrafted leather bag, avoid harsh chemicals or alcohol-based products.
✔ Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust
✔ Apply a natural leather cleaner once a week
✔ Never soak the leather — moisture weakens the fibers
Regular cleaning keeps your genuine leather handbag smooth, flexible, and vibrant.
Protect Your Leather from Sunlight
Direct sunlight can fade and dry out full-grain leather, leading to cracks and discoloration.
Always store your bag in a cool, dry place away from windows and heat.
This simple habit helps preserve the original color and texture of your premium leather bag.
Let Your Leather Bag Breathe
Never store your leather bag in plastic or airtight containers. Leather needs airflow to stay healthy.
All NUA BAGS orders come with a breathable dust bag, allowing your handmade leather bag to stay protected while still breathing naturally.
Keep Your Leather Bag Away from Water
Water is one of the biggest enemies of natural leather.
If your bag gets wet:
✔ Gently blot with a dry cloth
✔ Let it air dry naturally
❌ Never use heaters or hair dryers
✔ Apply a natural leather conditioner afterward
This prevents cracking and keeps the leather soft and rich.
Avoid Overloading Your Bag
Heavy items can stretch and deform the structure of your leather handbag.
To maintain its shape:
✔ Do not overload
✔ When not in use, fill with soft paper or fabric
This keeps your custom leather bag looking structured and elegant.
Leather Gets Better with Time
Every scratch, crease, and mark tells a story. With proper care, your handcrafted genuine leather bag becomes more beautiful year after year — developing a unique patina that reflects your journey.
