Different substances on leather require different responses. However, a good leather cleaner, properly applied, followed by leather conditioner, will take care of most problems. Remember never to leave your leather luggage items in the rain. Quality leather products won’t generally leak, but water will stain them if they soak in it. If you get caught in the rain, as soon as possible, dry the wet luggage with a soft cloth and let it air dry. Apply leather conditioner to restore the visual beauty of the surface once it is completely dry. Also avoid leaving your leather items in direct sunlight to store them. Heat from the sun may prematurely dry the leather, so store your leather items in a cool, dark area until you are ready to use them. When you are getting ready to travel, it is a good idea to inspect your luggage well prior to your departure. In the unlikely event you need a professional to repair a small problem, you want to allow sufficient time for repairs before your trip.
Regular care of your leather luggage, duffels, handbags and messenger bags is an investment in the future, certainly well worth your time.
