How-to guide
How to store and care for leather bags
Leather lasts for years with simple care — and a well-kept leather bag is one of the most valued corporate gifts.
Quick answer
Store leather bags stuffed with paper, in a breathable dust bag, away from heat and direct sunlight; condition the leather occasionally; and wipe spills quickly with a dry cloth.

Key takeaways
- Empty and clean
- Stuff to hold shape
- Use a dust bag
- Keep away from heat and damp
- Condition periodically
Step by step
Empty and clean
Remove contents and wipe the bag with a soft, dry cloth.
Stuff to hold shape
Fill with acid-free paper so the bag does not crease.
Use a dust bag
Store in a breathable cotton bag, not plastic, which traps moisture.
Keep away from heat and damp
Heat dries leather out; damp causes mould.
Condition periodically
Apply a suitable leather conditioner every few months to keep it supple.

How do I remove a water stain from a leather bag?
