What happens if the leather gets wet?
Cows may be waterproof, but leather is not. Crazy horse leather has been specially treated to be water-resistant, but no leather is waterproof. Try to keep your leather bag as dry as possible, but if it does get wet – don’t panic! Using a soft cloth wipe away as much moisture as possible. Let the bag air-dry naturally until completely dry. Stuff the bag with paper or clothing to help it retain its shape while drying.Never use a hairdryer, heater, or any type of heat to dry your leather bag. This will dry out the leather and can cause cracks and discoloration. Because full-grain leather begins as a living, breathing, organ, it requires regular moisturizing treatments to retain its sheen and beauty. When leather gets wet, the water will pull the leather’s natural oils out as it evaporates. It is important to replace those oils with a good leather cream. After gently hand-drying your bag, apply the cream with a soft cloth in gentle, circular motions. *Please click on the Journal tab and see our article Can Leather get Wet for more detailed information.
