If you're the proud owner of one of our veg-tanned leather products, you should know the importance of proper care to maintain its beauty and longevity. While veg-tanned leather is known for its durability and ability to develop a rich patina over time, regular maintenance is essential to keep it looking its best.

In this guide, I will walk you through the steps to effectively care for your leather goods to ensure they last a lifetime.

Understanding Our Veg-Tanned Leather with Satin Sheen Finish

Veg-tanned leather is prized for its natural look and feel, as well as its ability to age gracefully with proper care. The satin sheen finish we use adds a subtle luster to the leather, enhancing its appearance while still allowing the natural characteristics of the hide to shine through. This type of finish requires special attention to ensure it remains in top condition for years to come.

Satin Shene is a durable, water-repellent top finish specifically designed for natural veg-tanned and tooled leather.

Regular Cleaning and Conditioning

To keep your veg-tanned leather looking its best, it's essential to clean and condition it regularly. Start by gently wiping down the surface of the leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish of the leather. Check out these non-toxic alternatives. 

Once the leather is clean and dry, apply a small amount of high-quality leather conditioner to a clean, soft cloth. Work the conditioner into the leather using gentle, circular motions, making sure to cover the entire surface evenly. Allow the conditioner to penetrate the leather for a few minutes, then buff away any excess with a clean, dry cloth.

Protecting Against Moisture and Stains

In addition to regular cleaning and conditioning, you should protect your veg-tanned leather from moisture and stains. Avoid exposing your leather goods to prolonged periods of moisture, as this can cause the leather to become stiff and warped. If your leather does get wet, blot it dry with a clean, absorbent cloth and allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.

To further protect your leather from stains and spills, consider applying a water and stain repellent specifically designed for use on leather. These products create a protective barrier on the surface of the leather, making it easier to clean up spills before they have a chance to penetrate the surface.

Treating Regularly

To maintain the beauty and durability of your veg-tanned leather with a satin sheen finish, it's important to treat it regularly. Everyday bags should be treated at least once a month, while bags that don't get as much use can be treated once or twice a year. Regular treatment helps to replenish the natural oils in the leather, keeping it soft, supple, and resistant to cracking and fading.


With these simple care tips, you can ensure that your product remains in pristine condition for years to come. Invest in the proper care products and make regular maintenance a part of your routine to enjoy your leather goods for a lifetime.
