Methods/steps
dehumidify
When the bag is used, it will inevitably be contaminated with a lot of dust and dead cells falling from us. High-density moisture will lead to the growth of bacteria and fungi on dead skin, resulting in odor. Newspapers can be wrapped in clean tracing paper for stuffing, which helps to absorb moisture, eliminate odor and help to keep the original shape of the bag.

Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
Any light, including ultraviolet rays and LED, will lead to the oxidation and desalination of natural pigments in leather, leading to the fading of bags. The best way is to avoid the bag being exposed to light and sunlight for a long time. When not in use, store the bag in a cool and ventilated place, and don't expose the bag for a long time when going out.

waterproof material
Rain will lead to the loss of natural oil on leather, which will make leather hard and brittle. In addition, moisture will form an ugly watermark, which is difficult to remove. If the bag is wet, you must wait until the bag is completely packed before putting it away. If you only get a little water, you can use a hair dryer to dry it with cold air (not hot air). If there is a watermark in the bag, you'd better ask someone to keep it.

Prevent oil pollution
The inside and outside of the bag was accidentally scratched by a ballpoint pen, or food was stained when eating, resulting in oil stains. It's difficult to remove oil stains by yourself, so you need someone to help you. Someone will melt the oil to remove stains. It is best to take the ink to the store for cleaning within 4 hours after you get it. If the ink remains on the bag for more than 4 hours, it is likely to have penetrated into the fabric, which is difficult to completely remove and needs to be covered up by local dyeing.

food colouring
Foods such as tomato sauce also contain pigments, which will leave stains on the bag. In addition to degreasing care, if you can't remove the pigment, you have to partially replenish the color or even re-dye it to "cover up the ugly".

Color pollution
Some fabrics, such as patent leather, are particularly easy to be contaminated by pigments such as clothes and furniture. Depending on the situation, local complementary color or re-dyeing may be needed.

Matters needing attention
Leather is a kind of natural fiber and contains natural oil. The hot and dry climate will cause the leather to lose moisture and oil, which will eventually lead to the loss of elasticity and brittleness.
The best preventive measure is to add a protective layer immediately after buying a brand-name bag.
