Leather Love: How to Care for Your CoriumSacs Masterpiece

At CoriumSacs, we don't just craft leather goods; we create bold, artistic masterpieces meant to last a lifetime. Whether you're rocking a reflective Smok-Pack or a custom-made guitar case, your leather accessory is more than just an everyday item—it's a statement, a companion on all your adventures. But even the best leather needs a little love to stay fresh and fabulous for years to come.

In this guide, we’ll break down exactly how to care for your CoriumSacs masterpiece, keeping it looking as stylish and unique as the day you first laid eyes on it.

Why Leather Care Matters: Treat It Like Art

Leather is a natural material, meaning it changes over time, developing character as it ages. But just like your favorite leather jacket, it requires some TLC to maintain its softness, color, and durability. At CoriumSacs, we use only ethically sourced leather from LWG-certified tanneries, meaning our products—whether made from cowhide, goat, or sheep leather—are built to stand the test of time. But the secret to leather that lasts forever? Regular care and attention.

1. Dust It Off: Regular Cleaning is Key 

Your CoriumSacs leather accessory deserves to stay spotless, but leather and grime don't mix well. Dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate on the surface, dulling that luxurious shine. Keeping your leather clean is step one in the care process. 

Cleaning Tips: 
● Dust regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away surface dust. You can do this 
every week or as needed. 
● Damp cloth cleaning: For deeper cleaning, dampen a soft cloth with lukewarm water 
and gently wipe the leather. Just make sure it’s damp, not soaked—leather and water 
aren’t besties. 
● Avoid harsh cleaners: Skip the soap, detergent, or alcohol-based products. These can 
dry out and damage the leather by stripping away its natural oils. 

2. Condition Your Leather: Hydrate to Keep it Supple 
Just like your skin needs moisture to stay healthy, so does leather. Without the right oils, leather can crack, lose its softness, and start to look worn out. Conditioning your leather regularly will keep it soft, shiny, and full of life. 

Conditioning Tips: 
● Pick the right conditioner: Use a high-quality leather conditioner that’s formulated for 
natural leather. Avoid cheap products that contain silicone or wax, which can build up 
over time and cause discoloration. 
● Apply sparingly: Use a soft cloth to apply a small amount of conditioner in circular 
motions. Let it soak in for 10-15 minutes, then wipe off any excess with a clean, dry 
cloth. 
● Condition every few months: For frequently used items like bags and wallets, 
conditioning every 3-4 months is ideal. If your leather isn’t exposed to harsh conditions, 
twice a year will do. 

3. Protect Your Leather: Keep the Elements at Bay 
Leather is tough, but it's still vulnerable to environmental factors like sunlight, heat, and moisture. Exposure to these elements can dry out the leather, cause fading, or even leave unsightly water stains. 

Protecting Tips: 
● Avoid direct sunlight: Sunlight can cause leather to fade and dry out, especially if left in 
the sun for long periods. When not in use, store your leather items in a cool, shaded 
area. 
● Keep away from heat: Excessive heat can cause leather to crack and harden. Don’t 
leave your bag on a radiator or in a hot car for too long. 
● Waterproof it: If you live in a rainy area or plan on using your leather outdoors, consider 
using a water-resistant leather spray. Just make sure to test it on a small area first! 

4. Store It Right: Leather Needs Space to Breathe 
When you’re not rocking your CoriumSacs bag or accessory, proper storage is a must. Leather needs to breathe, and improper storage can lead to damage. 

Storage Tips: 
● Use a dust bag: Always store your leather items in a breathable dust bag or soft 
pillowcase. Avoid plastic bags that trap moisture and can cause mold. 
● Stuff it to keep its shape: For structured bags, use tissue paper or a soft cloth to stuff 
the bag and help it maintain its shape when not in use. 
● Hang jackets properly: If you own a leather jacket, hang it on a wide, padded hanger to 
avoid distorting the shoulders. 

5. Handle With Care: Leather and Heavy Loads Don’t Mix 
We know your CoriumSacs bag is a work of art, but it’s not designed to carry the kitchen sink. Overloading your leather bag can stretch and warp the material, ruining its shape and structure over time. 

Handling Tips: 
● Don’t overstuff: Keep heavy, sharp objects away from your bag to avoid dents and 
scratches. 
● Avoid rubbing against rough surfaces: Try not to let your bag rub against rough or 
abrasive surfaces that could damage the leather.

6. Keep the Hardware Shiny: Don’t Forget the Details 
It’s not just the leather that needs attention. The metal hardware—zippers, buckles, and 
studs—are just as important to keep your CoriumSacs accessory looking top-tier. 

Hardware Care Tips: 
● Polish regularly: Wipe down the hardware with a soft cloth to remove dirt and oil. If 
needed, use a mild metal polish to bring back its shine. 
● Avoid harsh chemicals: Just like leather, the hardware doesn’t like harsh cleaners. 
Stick to water or specialized metal polish for best results.

7. Exotic Finishes Need Special Care 
If you’ve got one of our limited edition reflective leather foils or metallic finishes, you’re in 
possession of something truly unique. These finishes require a little extra love to keep them looking sharp. 

Special Finish Care Tips: 
● Gentle cleaning only: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the surface. Avoid abrasive 
materials that could scratch or dull the finish. 
● Store carefully: Keep reflective or metallic leather items separate from other items to 
prevent scuffing.

8. Leather Love with Transparency: Certification on Demand 
At CoriumSacs, transparency is key. Every piece of leather we use is ethically sourced, and we can provide certification on demand for any leather used in our products. If you ever have questions about the origins of your leather or need proof of sustainability, we’re here to help.
