Owning a leather bag is not just about style; it’s about embracing a legacy of craftsmanship and timeless beauty. To ensure that your Suki bag ages gracefully, follow these detailed care tips:

1. Protect from the Elements:

• Leather is sensitive to sunlight, heat, and moisture. Prolonged exposure can lead to discoloration or cracking.
• If rain or humidity dampens your bag, wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth and let it air-dry naturally. Never use heaters or hair dryers.
  
  

2. Condition for Longevity:

• Leather thrives when nourished. Use a neutral leather conditioner to maintain the suppleness and shine of the bag.
• Apply the conditioner with a soft cloth in circular motions and allow it to absorb naturally. Test the conditioner on a small, inconspicuous area first. Wipe off excess with a clean cloth.
  
  

3. Keep It Clean:

• Dust your bag regularly with a microfiber cloth to maintain its natural sheen.
• For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for your bag’s finish. Avoid abrasive or harsh chemicals.
• Leather requires mindful care — avoid dry cleaning as it may compromise the material.

4. Mind Your Storage:

• When storing or not using, place your bag in a breathable dust cover (provided by Suki), away from humidity. Avoid plastic covers, which can trap moisture and lead to mold.
• Stuff the bag with acid-free paper or soft fabric to maintain its shape.

5. Handle with Care:

• Avoid overloading your bag, as excessive weight can stretch the leather or deform its structure.
• Keep it away from sharp objects that can scratch or puncture the surface.

6. Avoid Chemicals:

• Minimize contact with makeup, perfumes, and hand sanitizers. If spills occur, blot (don’t rub) the area immediately.
  
  

7. Routine Checkups:

• Inspect your bag periodically for any signs of wear or damage. Address minor issues promptly to prevent them from worsening.

8. A Word on Patina

• Your Suki bag will develop a natural patina over time—a soft sheen and character unique to your journey together. This isn’t a flaw but a hallmark of genuine leather, celebrating its authenticity and charm. The wrinkles, texture, and slight marks are part of the story your bag tells.

At Suki, we believe that leather, much like fine wine, only gets better with age. By following these simple care routines, your bag will remain a cherished part of your collection—forever #OneForTheAges.
