Leather Care — Korasís

Fine leather is a living material that develops character over time. The patina your bag acquires tells the story of your adventures together. Here's how to ensure that story is a long and beautiful one.

Daily Care

Wipe your bag with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust and surface dirt. Store in the provided dust bag when not in use.

Moisture Protection

If your bag gets wet, let it dry naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat or hairdryers. Stuff with tissue to maintain shape.

Sun & Heat

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and heat sources, which can cause fading and drying. Store in a cool, dry place.

Storage

Store stuffed with acid-free tissue paper to maintain shape. Keep in the dust bag, standing upright in a well-ventilated space.

Care by Material

Different leathers require slightly different care. Here's a quick guide for each type we use:

Full-Grain Leather

Our most durable leather. Develops rich patina over time. Condition every 3-6 months.

Saffiano

Scratch-resistant cross-hatch texture. Wipe clean with damp cloth. Low maintenance.

Lambskin

Delicate and buttery soft. Handle with care. Avoid water and oils. Use specialized cleaner.
