At Modern Rugged, our leather goods are designed to last a lifetime - and with the right care, they’ll only grow more beautiful with age. Premium leather develops a rich patina over time, telling the story of every journey, meeting, and adventure. Here’s how to keep your piece looking its best for years to come.
1. Regular Cleaning
Dust and dirt can dull the natural finish of your leather.
-
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down your bag weekly.
-
For deeper cleaning, lightly dampen the cloth with water and gently wipe, avoiding soaking the leather.
2. Conditioning Your Leather
Just like skin, leather needs moisture to stay supple and resist cracking.
-
Every 3–6 months, apply a small amount of high-quality leather conditioner.
-
Test a hidden spot first to ensure it blends well with the leather’s natural tone.
-
Allow it to absorb overnight, then buff with a clean cloth.
3. Protect From Excess Moisture
Leather is naturally durable, but excessive water can cause damage.
-
If your bag gets wet, pat it dry with a soft towel and let it air dry naturally.
-
Avoid heat sources like hair dryers, radiators, or direct sunlight, which can cause stiffness or warping.
4. Store With Care
When not in use:
-
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
-
Keep it inside a dust bag or pillowcase to prevent scratches.
-
Stuff it with soft fabric or paper to help maintain its shape.
