WHAT MAKES A GOOD VINTAGE LEATHER BAG?

Whether you’re navigating the board room or the farmers market, we have a leather bag for you. 

But what makes a good vintage leather bag? Here are a few things to look for:

Details

When it comes to vintage leather bags, details matter. That’s why we design ours to preserve the details that made the originals worth recreating. Well-placed pockets, snaps, and zippers; just-right dimensions; premium aged leather, and a practical interior.

Style

Vintage leather bags are inherently stylish. An easy air of confidence has always followed the leather bag, regardless of the kind of person who carries it –  from CEOs to homemakers to college students. The best of today’s inspired vintage leather bags preserve that same easy style.

Quality

It doesn’t really matter how stylish or detailed a bag is if it’s constructed of poor quality materials. Decades-old vintage leather bags are still around because they were made to last. “They just don’t make them like they used to” doesn’t have to be the case for you. Be sure to purchase a leather bag that holds to the tradition of fine leather craftsmanship. The best vintage leather bags feel good the first time you carry them and look even better over time.

CARING FOR YOUR VINTAGE LEATHER BAG

Follow these 3 tips to ensure your beloved leather bag has a good, long life. 

*Always spot-test products before applying to your entire bag!

1. Condition Consistently

At least once a year, apply a high-quality leather conditioner with a soft sponge or cloth. Massage the conditioner into the leather, then wipe off any excess with a clean, dry cloth. If you live in a dry climate, you really ought to do this every couple of months. If your climate is more humid, every 6 months to a year will suffice.

2. Manage Moisture

If water spills onto your bag, blot (do not rub) the moisture away with a dry cloth as quickly as possible. *If the moisture is from winter weather, remember that it probably contains some amount of salt-based products, so a moist cloth should be used. After blotting away excess moisture, allow the leather to air dry. 

3. Remember the Interior

We love the aged exterior of a leather bag as much as you do - but don’t forget the interior. Make a habit of wiping down the inside of your bag once a month. Use a slightly damp cloth to clean the lining of your bag and remove the dust and residue from items you’ve carried. Then, prop the bag open to air dry the interior.
