Leather bags are a must for men, especially those businessmen who kit out in white shirt and tie. With a leather bag holding in hand, one seems to feel more business-like and more professional while dealing with clients. Being commonly used for business purpose, a leather bag is usually natural and plain in color, durable in using and classic in style. Many men hope their leather bags can last for as longer as possible, but how to preserve it to maintain its quality and decent image? Here in this article, I will give you several clues.
First clue is about the cleaning of a leather bag. Like leather shoes, we can't wash it directly with water. It is because leather will go mould and rot after getting wet. So as to the cleaning of a leather bag, we should wipe it gently with a piece of cloth and then polish it with oil especially for the preserving of leather bags. So take care not to get your leather bag soaked in a rainy day.
Then, I am going to talk about the storage of it. Generally, a leather bag should be stored in place that is dry, ventilated and free of sunray. Another point is, if you are about to leave your leather bag unused, clean its surface first, and then cram some paper scraps or cloths into it to keep its shape. And the natural oil on the surface of it will be gradually worn away as a result of daily use, so regular preservation is necessary to keep it shining and polished. The usual practice is applying oil on clean cloth and then wiping the leather bag evenly with it. In doing so, we avoid possible damage to the bag by applying oil directly on it.
The last clue is about how to properly use our leather bags. Some men are reckless and often knock their leather bags onto something hard or get it scratched against something sharp. So my suggestion is treating your bag gently if you care it. And then keep the metal accessories on the leather bag away from chemicals because they will get corrupted. Still, don't carry too many things with your leather bag because too heavy a weight will make it distorted.
In all, men's leather bags stress on its durability, so preservation is a very important work to do. I hope this article offers the information you need for this end.
