Vegetable-tanned leather is a natural material that is tanned using tannins found in plant matter. Proper care and maintenance can help preserve the beauty and longevity of vegetable-tanned leather bags. Here are some instructions for looking after vegetable-tanned leather bags:

Avoid Overexposure to Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the leather to fade and become dry. Store your bag in a cool, dark place when not in use.

Keep it Dry: Water can damage vegetable-tanned leather, so it's essential to keep your bag dry. If it gets wet, pat it dry with a clean, dry cloth and allow it to air dry naturally. Avoid using heat sources like hairdryers or radiators, as these can cause the leather to crack.

Clean Gently: Regularly remove dust and dirt from your leather bag using a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth. If necessary, you can use a mild soap or leather cleaner specifically designed for vegetable-tanned leather. Test the cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't cause any damage.

Condition the Leather: Vegetable-tanned leather can benefit from occasional conditioning to prevent it from drying out and cracking. Use a high-quality leather conditioner that is compatible with vegetable-tanned leather, like Dubbin wax. Apply the conditioner in a thin, even layer and allow it to be absorbed by the leather. Buff off any excess with a soft, dry cloth.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaning agents on your leather bag, as these can damage the natural finish of the leather.

Handle with Clean Hands: Oils and dirt from your hands can be transferred to the leather and may affect its appearance over time. Handle your vegetable-tanned leather bag with clean hands to minimise the transfer of oils and dirt.

Storage: When not in use, store your leather bag in a breathable dust bag or pillowcase. Avoid using plastic bags, as they can trap moisture and lead to mould or mildew growth.

Patina Development: Vegetable-tanned leather develops a unique patina over time, which adds character to the bag. Embrace this natural ageing process, as it is a distinctive feature of high-quality leather.

By following these care instructions, you can help maintain the beauty and integrity of your vegetable-tanned leather bag for years to come.
