Care Instructions - Leather Bags

✨ Care Instructions

Love your pieces, and they’ll love you back.

At Humba Hides, we design products to be lived in and loved — whether it’s a pair of boots, a leather clutch, or a family-friendly organiser. With a little TLC, your items will not only last but grow more beautiful with time.

👜 For Leather (Boots, Bags & Clutches)

We work with full-grain leather — beautiful, durable, and uniquely yours. With the right care, your leather will soften, develop a rich patina, and tell your story.

  • Keep it dry: If your leather gets wet, gently pat dry with a soft cloth and let it air out naturally (avoid heat).
  • Moisturise occasionally: Use a good quality leather conditioner every few months to keep it supple.
  • Avoid overstuffing: Don’t overload your bag — this protects its shape and stitching.
  • Store it kindly: Keep in a dust bag or pillowcase, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Spot clean gently: Use a soft cloth or damp sponge for light marks. Avoid harsh cleaners or detergents.

Each crease, mark, or variation is part of the leather’s natural beauty — a unique character that makes your piece one-of-a-kind.

🧴 For Canvas & Mixed Materials (Travel Clutch, All-Purpose Bag)

Our canvas and waterproof-lined bags are designed for everyday practicality.

  • Wipe clean: Use a damp cloth or wet wipe to clean inside and out.
  • Avoid chemicals: Stick to mild cleaners only; harsh chemicals can damage stitching or finishes.
  • Leather trims: When applying leather care products, avoid getting conditioner on cotton stitching or fabric panels.
  • Air dry only: After spills, let your bag air dry naturally. Never use a heater or tumble dryer.

🌊 For Waterproof Linings & Wet Bags

These products are made to handle life’s messes — from swimsuits to cloth nappies.

  • Quick clean: Wipe inside with a damp cloth after use.
  • Rinse when needed: Run under water for bigger spills, then hang to dry.
  • Machine washable: For deeper cleans, pop into the wash with your laundry (cold or gentle cycle recommended).
  • No ironing or heat: Keep away from high heat to protect the waterproof layer.

💛 Final Note

Every Humba Hides piece is handmade and may show natural variations — these are not defects, but part of what makes your item truly unique. With love and mindful care, your boots, bags, and accessories will be companions for years to come.
