Leather Love: Extend the Life of Your Miss Monogram Accessories
A Miss Monogram bag is more than just an accessory; it's a statement of style and personal expression.
To ensure your investment lasts for years to come, proper care is essential! We have collected our favourite, simple yet effective ways to keep your leather bag looking its best. PLUS special mention for what to do in humid areas.
Keep it Clean
Regular cleaning is key to maintaining your bag's appearance. Gently wipe down your bag with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For deeper cleans, consider using a specialised leather cleaner. Always remember to test any product on a small, inconspicuous area first!
Conditioning is Crucial
Leather is a natural material that needs hydration. Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep your bag soft, supple, and prevent cracking. This will help preserve the leather's natural beauty and extend its lifespan. Especially important for high use pieces like our Compendium & Crossbody Bags.
Protect from the Elements
While your Miss Monogram bag is designed to withstand everyday wear and tear, it's important to protect it from harsh elements; obviously. Avoid exposing your bag to rain or excessive humidity. If it does get wet, dry it immediately with a soft cloth. If you're like us and live in with high humidity we have put special tips together below.
Proper Storage Matters
When not in use, store your bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a dust bag will help protect it from dust and scratches.
P.S. Did you know geckos eat leather!? Store it in a secure location out of reach of these creatures. Consider using insect repellents or natural deterrents around your storage area.
Special Considerations for Humid Climates
If you live in a humid area like us here on the Sunshine Coast, take extra precautions to protect your leather bag. Consider using a dehumidifier in your storage area or storing your bag in an airtight container with silica gel packets to absorb moisture. Avoid storing your bag in cardboard boxes, as they can absorb moisture!
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Leather is a natural, delicate material and can be damaged by harsh chemicals. Never use alcohol, acetone, or other similar substances on your bag!
