Take care of the leather bag in the heat.
In the second part, we’ll tell you how to take the best care of your leather bags in the summer. The same tips should be kept in mind with leather jackets and other leather accessories.
1. Avoid direct sunlight
During the hot season, you should avoid storing leather bags in direct sunlight for long periods of time. Continuous direct sunlight not only dries the skin, it can also fade colors. When leaving home, you should make sure that the bag does not stay in a sunny place and during a long picnic, it is worth protecting it even with a cloth bag or wrap it in the corner of a blanket.

2. Treat with conditioner regularly
In summer, leather bags need moisture above all else. For bags that are used regularly, it is a good idea to add a new coat of conditioner about every month – and more often if necessary, if the skin surface starts to feel dry. In general, dryness is noticed by the fact that the surface of the skin begins to appear more susceptible to use. However, when it comes to the amount of conditioner, it’s worth remembering moderation – too little at a time is always better than too much. The conditioner is suitably present if it does not remain on the surface of the skin after application. When the leather stays nourished, it does not wear and scratch so easily. Saphir Universal Cream is suitable for the most typical surface skins used in bags . For very soft and moisture-sensitive skin, you should choose a lighter oneSaphir Nappa Leather Cream Conditioner .
Before the conditioner, the bag is thoroughly brushed with a leather brush and cleaned with a damp natural sponge . A foam sponge or soft cotton cloth is also available for cleaning. If necessary, a cleanser suitable for the skin can be used for cleaning if the bag seems to need special cleaning. A good choice for cleansing is Saphir Cleaner Shampoo , which also works for more sensitive skin.
3. Brush diligently
Especially light bags should be brushed regularly with a leather brush so that street and pollen do not darken the surface of the leather. Brushing also renews the skin’s shine. If brushing alone doesn’t feel enough, you can wipe the bag with a damp natural sponge , a foam sponge or a soft cotton cloth . The natural sponge is the best tool for cleaning bags, as it is very gentle and glides particularly well on the skin. The condensing sponge also makes it easy to access tight spaces and small details. The beautiful natural mushroom is happy to keep on display so that it is easy to grab whenever needed!
