The Ultimate Guide To Leather Bag Cleaning

How to take care of your leather bags

Leather bags have and always will be a staple in our closets. Whether it be a fashionable coloured leather or a classic suede, you will most likely buy a leather handbag sometime in your life and we want to make sure you take care of it!

First things first, you have to understand the different types of leather; suede, pigmented leather, unfinished, etc. each leather has a different care routine depending on its type. By using different cleaners and techniques for every type of leather, Bagsamoré makes sure we get the possible result for your leather bag cleaning.

Types of Leather

Pigmented Leather

Pigmented leathers are the least natural grain leather, but most durable such as the Chanel Caviar leather. For these types, we have a foam cleaning service which gets deep into the grain, lifting dirt and soiling on the surface. A good option for protecting and cleaning your luxury bag at home is with the Bagsamoré products because they are water based and safe to use. In conjunction with the two products, your pigmented leather will be taken care of.

  • Compact Foaming Bottle: Easy to use and perfect for precise application.

  • Deep Cleaning Power: Effectively removes dirt build-up without damaging your leather.

  • Bonus Cleaning Cloths: Includes 2 complimentary cloths for a complete cleaning experience.

Give your leather the care it deserves with this premium, no-fuss cleaner. Perfect for maintaining luxury and everyday items alike.

Unfinished Leather

Unfinished leather has no pigment and little to no finish on the surface, making it a harder leather to care for. At Bagsamoré, we have a specialist aniline cleaner, which gently cleans the surface of the bag, without being absorbed quickly. This reduces the chances of water marking and allows for more effective cleaning results. This is exclusive to Bagsamoré in Australia so you won't find results quite like it anywhere else! Our Luxe Leather Protector and Cleaner are also ideal for cleaning and protecting this type of leather.
