Cleaning bags and cases

Our bags and pouches are made of high-quality leather, which is water- and dirt-repellent. Nevertheless, due to frequent use, your leather bag or pouch may get dirty after some time. To keep the bag or pouch beautiful, it is important to clean it immediately. This will prevent the dirt from penetrating further into the leather. In addition, it is also important to clean the inside of the bag or pouch once in a while to prevent bad smells in the bag or pouch. As our bags and pouches are made of leather, they cannot be machine washed. Yet it is not difficult to clean your bag or pouch. Below is a step-by-step plan for cleaning both the outside of the bag or pouch and the inside.

Exterior of bag or pouch

Step 1: Spray de tas voorgebruik in met een kleurloze, water- en vuilafstotende spray. Dit voorkomt de ergste viezigheid.

Step 2: Try rubbing the bag clean with a dry cloth.

Stage 3: Coarser dirt can be removed with a soft brush or leather sponge.

StEP 4: Should this not solve the problem you can, with a slightly damp cloth wipe the bag.

Step 5: Then let the bag or pouch dry gently. (Beware! Do not put the bag or pouch in the sun or over the heater. This can dry out the leather.)

Step 6: Next, you can use a cleaning spray. Spray cleans the leather not only from dirt, which sits on the surface, but also from deeper-rooted dirt such as, sweat and other skin contaminants, which arise from frequent use of your bag or pouch.

Step 7: Spray the bag again with a colourless, water- and dirt-repellent spray to give it additional protection against dirt again.

Inside of bag or pouch

Step 1: Empty your bag or pouch.

Step 2: Empty the bag of dust and dirt over a bin.

Step 3: Next, use a clothes roller to remove the last bits of dust and dirt from the bag or pouch.

Step 4: Clean the inside with a damp cloth, using some detergent. When doing so, be careful not to get the cloth too wet, and the outside of your bag or pouch wet.

Step 5: If you only want to remove foul odours from your bag, you can sprinkle baking soda in your bag or pouch. Leave this in the bag or pouch for a few hours, then shake the bag or pouch empty.

Besides cleaning, it is also important to maintain the leather properly. In our next blog, you will read more about maintaining your leather bag or pouch.
