Leather Care Guide

Caring for Your
LA Sachi

A well-cared-for leather bag develops a beautiful patina over time — aging gracefully like fine wine. Follow these artisan-approved guidelines to keep your piece pristine.

☀️

Daily Care

  • Wipe your bag with a soft, dry microfiber cloth after each use
  • Avoid placing your bag on floors — use a bag hook or chair
  • Rotate between bags to prevent wear — each piece deserves rest
  • Keep your bag away from direct sunlight for extended periods
🧹

Cleaning

  • Use a leather-specific cleaner — never household detergents or alcohol
  • Test any product on a hidden area first (inside flap or bottom)
  • For saffiano and embossed leathers: use a slightly damp cloth for surface marks
  • For full-grain and calfskin: use a dedicated leather conditioner every 3-4 months
🏠

Storage

  • Store in the provided LA Sachi dust bag when not in use
  • Stuff with acid-free tissue paper to maintain shape — never newspaper
  • Store upright in a cool, dry place with adequate ventilation
  • Never store in plastic bags — leather needs to breathe
  • Keep silica gel packets nearby to absorb excess moisture
🌧️

Weather Protection

  • Apply a leather protectant spray before the monsoon season
  • If caught in rain, blot immediately with a soft cloth — never rub
  • Let wet leather dry naturally at room temperature — never use a hairdryer
  • Extreme humidity can cause mold — ensure proper ventilation in storage

Hardware Care

  • Polish gold and brass hardware with a soft jeweler's cloth
  • Avoid contact with perfume, sanitizer, and cosmetics near hardware
  • Zip closures gently — forcing zips damages both the zip and surrounding leather
  • If hardware tarnishes, use a mild brass cleaner with a cotton swab
🆘

Stain Emergencies

  • Ink stains: apply rubbing alcohol with a cotton swab immediately
  • Oil/grease: sprinkle cornstarch, let sit 4 hours, then brush off gently
  • Water marks: dampen the entire panel evenly and let dry naturally
  • For stubborn stains, consult our Private Client Advisor — don't DIY
