Bag care tips

Genuine leather ages well when it is kept dry, clean and out of direct sun. A few habits keep your bag looking new for decades.

Everyday

Wipe dust with a soft, dry cloth. For marks, use a slightly damp cloth with water only and let it dry naturally.
Keep the bag away from heaters, radiators and direct sunlight: heat dries the leather and fades the color.
Do not overfill it. Leather keeps the shape it is stored in.

Every few months

Apply a small amount of neutral leather conditioner with a soft cloth, in circular motions, and buff off the excess.
Hair-on-hide (Fur collection) bags are brushed gently in the direction of the hair; never condition the hair side.

Embroidery and embossing

Do not rub embroidered names with cleaners or conditioner; dab around them.
Embossed inscriptions need no care beyond keeping the leather conditioned.

If it gets wet

Blot with a dry cloth and let it dry at room temperature, away from heat, with the zipper open. Condition once it is fully dry.

Storage

Store it in a breathable cotton bag, never in plastic, and keep the tefillin bag inside the tallit bag so both hold their shape.
