If your hands sweat a lot or you often use hand lotion, if you hold the handle directly with your palm, oil will easily accumulate on the handle, causing it to turn black/yellow.

Prevention: You can put a hand towel/scarf on the handle to prevent your hands from coming into direct contact with it. You can also put the handle on your shoulder instead of holding it with your palm.

Home solution: Before using leather goods, you can spray them with waterproof and anti-fouling spray or protective liquid, just like having a protective film.

Professional solution: Generally, if the handle turns black or yellow, you can perform deep cleaning and disinfection care services to reduce the darkened area. In severe cases, deep cleaning and coloring services are required.

dyeing

Fine leather is often stained by friction with jeans and dark clothing. Light-colored leather is especially susceptible to staining due to friction. Once leather is stained, it often affects the appearance and cannot be worn on the street.

Prevention method: Be extra careful when storing different leather products, and avoid direct contact with other leather products, clothing or objects, as this may cause mutual staining.

Home solution: Before using leather goods, you can spray them with waterproof and anti-fouling spray or protective liquid, just like having a layer of protective film, making you feel more at ease when going out! More assured!

Ballpoint pen marks are often made without you noticing, for example, by forgetting to put the cap on the pen or putting the ballpoint pen directly into leather goods.

Prevention method: Regularly spray leather goods with waterproof and anti-fouling spray, just like having a protective film.

Metal buckle oxidation
手袋扣氧化

There are usually some metal buckles on leather goods, and metal will oxidize when it comes into contact with moisture or water. In addition to moisture, hand sweat and hand lotion are the main reasons that accelerate metal oxidation and discoloration.

Prevention method: After each use of leather goods, it is recommended to wipe the metal part with a clean cotton cloth to simply clean the dust on the metal.

Home solution: You can buy metal rust remover paste in the market, but be careful not to get it on other parts of the handbag.

Professional solution: Leather Reborn provides professional metal rust removal and electroplating services, which can restore the metal parts to their former glory and slow down the severe oxidation of metal buckles.

Water stains
手袋水漬

It is inevitable that your handbag will get wet on rainy days. When some leathers come into contact with water, the water stains will immediately penetrate into the leather.

Prevention: Keep leather goods away from water and liquids as much as possible. Also, do not use leather goods as umbrellas when it rains because you do not have an umbrella with you. In addition, before using leather goods, you can spray them with waterproof and anti-fouling spray, just like a protective film.

Home solution: When this happens, you can try to dilute the water stain by gently patting it with your fingertips, then wiping it with a dry cloth and letting it air dry. Never use a hair dryer or water to clean it directly, so as not to affect the quality and appearance of the leather goods.

Professional solution: Leather Reborn provides professional color refurbishment services to restore leather goods affected by water stains to their original appearance.

Handbag maintenance method
  • It is recommended to maintain your handbag every three months

  • Keep your handbags clean and hygienic, and extend their lifespan (e.g. slow down yellowing and staining of handbags, etc.)

When storing

Fill the inside of the bag with syringa paper and then put it in a dust bag. This will help it maintain its shape and prevent scratches, wrinkles, etc. on the surface.

In addition, the shoulder straps should be aligned and laid flat. If the handbag is equipped with a metal shoulder strap, the shoulder strap should be placed inside the handbag first to avoid overlapping with the handbag and causing pressure marks on the surface of the handbag.
