What color leather for your handbag?

The iconic black leather handbag

Black is a basic in the women's wardrobe. No matter the season, we swear by it! Why? It's a neutral color that goes with all outfits and styles. A black leather handbag will therefore be your best ally on all occasions. It brings an elegant and chic touch to your look. In casual mode, we accompany it with jeans and a patterned top, a pretty coat in beige tones or even a leopard print. In refined mode, it goes perfectly with a little evening dress and magnificent pumps. We can also dare the all-black look for a more minimalist look.

The timeless brown leather handbag

Like the black bag, its brown counterpart is a must-have in the feminine wardrobe. We love to take it out in spring or autumn, because it brings a touch of authenticity and character to our look. Almost as versatile as black, it goes wonderfully with casual or more formal outfits. In fact, it can be worn with almost everything: from denim jeans to bohemian dresses, to printed tops in bright colours or even clothes in more neutral tones. A brown leather bag is a timeless piece: a faithful companion that follows you everywhere and crosses the seasons.

Moving towards another color...

Is your wardrobe overflowing with fashion basics? Do you want to break out of your routine and break the codes? It's time to vary the pleasures and let the creative woman in you express herself. You can twist your look with more daring and original colors. In autumn-winter, assert your personality with red, sky blue, khaki or even burgundy bags. When spring returns, turn to softer and more sober colors, such as beige, white or powder pink.

How to clean a leather bag?

Leather is a natural and fragile material that requires proper care to preserve its quality and durability. Here are some steps to follow to clean your bag, without damaging it:

Dust the bag: Use a soft cloth to dust all areas of your bag, paying particular attention to the seams, corners and zippers.
Dip your cloth in a mixture of mild soap and warm water, then wring it out (excess water can damage the leather). Then, use slow circular motions to clean your bag. Avoid using abrasive tools (brushes, sponges) as this could damage your leather.
Wipe your bag well to remove moisture. Let it air dry, away from any direct heat source: this could cause the material to crack.

How to maintain a leather bag?

We encourage you to moisturize your leather regularly. This will keep it supple and prevent it from cracking. To do this:

Using circular movements, apply a suitable nourishing cream
Leave to penetrate for a few hours then wipe off the excess with a soft cloth.

Finally, to ensure your bag can accompany you for as long as possible, it is important to protect it. To do this, use a special leather waterproofing spray that will protect it from water, stains and dirt. Finally, when you are not wearing it, we recommend storing your bag in a specific cover, away from light and humidity to prevent it from getting damaged or deformed.
