Care Guide

Daily Use Outdoors? 

If you feel like it's gathering dust from being outdoors, you can simply Wipe your leather down with a soft, dry cloth after use. 

Caught in the rain? Not ideal.

Leather isn’t waterproof. And the weather apps aren't 100% reliable. 

So, if it gets wet, gently pat dry with a cloth after. 

Let it air dry naturally—no heaters and especially NO HAIRDRYERS!

In case of Scratches & Scuffs: Don’t panic! 

Scratches and scuffs? In a world that moves fast, signs of wear aren’t flaws—they’re proof of a life well-lived. Your bag’s just collecting memories. 

But for the Minor scratches: Gently rub the area with clean fingers—your skin’s natural oils often do the trick.

For the Bigger Ones: A good-quality leather balm will help reduce deeper scratches and restore the finish. 

In case of Stains & Spills: DO NOT RUB.

Spilled coffee? Happens to the best of us. 

 Blot (BLOT, DO NOT RUB)  immediately with a clean cloth. 

In case it smells: NO PERFUMES!

Air it out in a cool, dry space.

Never spray perfume or deodorizer on your bag—leather absorbs everything, including regret. 

In case the Color fades: Keep away from Sunlight.

Leather tans with time. However, too much sun exposure can cause colours to fade.

Store it in your dust bag when not in use. 

Keep it away from direct sunlight, humidity, and plastic covers.

Conditioning: Even your Bag needs it.

Every few months, treat it to a leather conditioner. Keeps it soft, supple, and less prone to cracking. 

Zippers & Hardware: Feeling stuck?

If they ever stick, a touch of beeswax or graphite pencil can help glide things back into place.

When you take care of things, they last.

We take an incredible amount of time, love and care to craft your Blue&Blues bag. With these simple steps, you can ensure it lasts a long time and ages gracefully.
