Why This Matters
MayaBags’ leather is locally processed using traditional, chemical-free techniques. Caring for it properly ensures it remains supple, rich in tone, and resilient—while honoring the heritage behind every stitch and tassel.
What You’ll Need
Soft, dry cloth
Mild, pH-balanced leather cleaner
Natural leather conditioner (beeswax-based or plant-based)
Small applicator sponge or clean hands
Storage pouch or breathable dust bag
How to Do It
Step 1
Wipe down gently with a dry cloth to remove surface dust and dirt.
Step 2
If needed, apply a small amount of leather cleaner to a soft cloth and gently rub in circular motions.
Step 3
Let dry naturally—avoid direct sun or heat.
Stem 4
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner, rubbing it in evenly with a cloth or fingers.
Step 5
Buff gently with a clean cloth for shine and softness.
Step 6
Store in a cool, dry place inside a breathable pouch when not in use.
Note: Do not use alcohol-based products, petroleum jelly, or baby wipes—they can strip natural oils from the leather.
