How To Care For Your Hobo Leather Bag

Hobo Leather Bags

It may be hard to believe it now, but the top brand Hobo was actually begun in a US dining room, way back in 1991. Since then, Hobo Leather Bags have risen to fame thanks to their durable, stylish, and elegant quality. The Hobo Leather Bags range at Stylight features everything from capacious shoulder bags to more compact purse style bags. Crafted with the utmost skill from strong and supple leather, Hobo Leather Bags are ideal for holidays, commuting, and much more.

How To Care For Your Hobo Leather Bag

If you’ve picked a Hobo leather bag, you’ve already made one good decision—to invest in a high-quality piece you’ll want to carry for years to come. Not only will your investment mean avoiding poorly-constructed pieces that end up in a landfill after prematurely breaking, but your Hobo bag’s genuine leather will age in a way that looks better with time. Maintain your winning streak by learning how to properly care for your leather to keep it looking its best.

With a little TLC, your bag can look as good in five years as the day you bought it.

Clean It

Using a cleaner made specifically for leather, clean your bag about twice a year. Leather cleaner can be applied in a circular motion with a soft cloth or a leather brush to remove dirt build-up. Most products will then be wiped off with a damp cloth, but follow the product instructions for specific details.

Condition It

With the exception of patent leather bags, most leather will benefit from being conditioned. Use a conditioner made for leather, which will help keep the surface of your bag soft and supple to avoid cracking. Be careful to avoid hardware when applying the conditioner to avoid dulling the finish.

Waterproof It

As a naturally porous material, no leather will ever be truly waterproof, so it’s best to avoid toting your Hobo leather bag through a rainstorm if possible. However, a little beeswax cream can go a long way toward making your bag more water-resistant. Some of these creams can alter the hue of dyed leather, so make sure to test in a hidden corner before applying all over.

It only takes a little time to care for your Hobo leather bag, and the results will keep rewarding you long after you’ve put down the leather brush.

Hobo leather bags are built to last.
