コレクション: Soft Leather Handbags

Looking after your soft leather bag starts with day-to-day care.

Leather is a skin, and it can stretch. Avoid over filling your leather purse to maintain its original silhouette

Regular dusting and a simple wipe with a damp cloth from time to time will certainly suffice. Smooth, fine and soft leathers will benefit from a soft leather cream to nourish, hydrate and preserve their supple qualities. Gentle creams and conditioners may also be used to remove light scratches.

When you have taken such care with your soft leather purse at home, it is important to extend the consideration to other environments. Invest in a handbag hook to keep your bags safe and away from dirty, rough floors and surfaces.

Just like skin needs to be moisturized to stay youthful, the same goes for soft leather. Applying a quality leather conditioner will preserve the look and feel of leather goods. Be sure to choose a conditioner that’s intended for leather and apply with a soft pad or microfiber cloth for maximum results.

Try using mink oil or beeswax to moisturize your soft leather bag. Leather conditioner or cream moisturizes the leather so that it doesn't dry out and shrink or crack. Always do a spot-test on a small area and wipe your bag with a dry cloth before applying any leather creams.

Leather is a robust material, but you can harm it if you clean it improperly. Harsh chemicals, abrasive cleansers, and products containing alcohol or silicone should be avoided since they can dry out and damage the leather. Instead, use a light soap or a soft leather cleaner.

You can make the cleaner for your soft leather bag by yourself.

Oil + Vinegar: Mix 1/2 cup olive oil with 1/4 cup of vinegar in a spray bottle.

Spritz on the stain, let sit for five minutes and wipe. Whatever you do, avoid bleach or ammonia-based cleaners as they can damage the leather. Toothpaste: Wet the stained area with a damp cloth.

Over time, the moisture will penetrate the leather, making it lose its stiffness.

The stiffness will eventually fade away due to normal wear and tear. So, do you know
how to soften a leather bag properly or how to speed up this process?

There are five major ways to soften a leather
bag with limited effort -- with water, with coconut oil, with a leather conditioner, with heat, and with petroleum jelly and rubbing alcohol.

Since leather is a natural, porous material, the water will eventually seep into the leather -- allowing it to soften. Leather is essentially skin as well, which makes coconut oil an excellent product for softening leather goods -- including your bag. Using a leather conditioner on any of your quality leather products is not only an excellent way to condition the leather, but it also helps speed up the softening process. 

First of all, it’s worth noting that ‘soft leather’ is an umbrella term under which many types of leather can be grouped, from Nappa to nubuck. Consider it a byword for any variety of leather with a velvety, fleecy exterior.

It has the properties of calfskin and goatskin, as well as exotic animal skins.

The texture of any leather is influenced by two broad variables: the natural characteristics of an animal’s hide and the tanning (or leather-making) process.

The Type of animal and the age of animal will create different softness due to the unique structures of their skins.

Master tanners can apply any number of conditioners and oils to achieve the desired degree of softness.

Leather - a timeless classic – is there to last for years. It comes in a variety of textures, from soft to extremely robust that are deemed proper for variety of purposes.

Top grain, rectified grain, genuine leather, nubuck, and suede are all different splits from hides used to manufacture various quality and textured leathers, but full grain is the way to go when it comes to bags.

Full grain leather is the best quality and most coveted leather, known for its strength and durability. Especially when it comes to handbags, you’ll love the patina and overall change of texture with time.
