Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade the rich colours in your Italian leather bag. To prevent this, store your bag in a cool and dry place in it's dust bag and avoid leaving it exposed to the sun for extended periods.

Genuine leather can be sensitive to moisture. To protect your Italian leather bag, avoid carrying it in heavy rain or placing it in damp areas. If your bag does get wet, gently pat it dry with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally.
3. Clean Your Bag Regularly
Regular cleaning is essential to preserve the quality of your Italian leather bag. Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dust and dirt. For stubborn stains, use a mild leather cleaner recommended by the manufacturer, such as our Creme Essentielle, and follow the instructions carefully.
4. Condition Your Leather Bag
To keep your Italian leather bag looking supple and moisturized, apply a high-quality leather conditioner. Conditioning helps to prevent your bag from drying out and cracking, ensuring its longevity. Be sure to test the conditioner on a small, inconspicuous area before applying it to the entire bag.
