Leather doesn't like water: everything you need to know to protect it

Full-grain calf leather, a noble and refined material, is at the heart of our creations. This skin, from the upper part of the animal's hide, is renowned for its natural beauty, strength and suppleness. However, to preserve all its qualities and guarantee its longevity, it is essential to protect it from water.

Water can have harmful effects on full-grain calf leather: it can leave stains, dry out the leather, deform it and make it less supple. To avoid this, we recommend avoiding direct contact with water, regularly cleaning your bag with a soft, slightly damp cloth, regularly nourishing the leather with a suitable cream and storing it in a dry place away from light.

If, despite all precautions, your bag comes into contact with water, dry it immediately with a soft, absorbent cloth, but avoid drying it near a source of heat or in the sun. If your leather gets wet, don't hesitate to use our Saphir care kit. Available for sale on our website, it will restore your bag to its former glory.

By following these few tips, you'll be able to extend the life of your full-grain calf leather bag and enjoy its beauty for many years to come. Don't hesitate to contact us for further advice. Full-grain calf leather is a living material that requires special care to reveal its full potential.
