Leather Care Guide

How to Care for Your Desti Leather Artwear

At Desti Saint, we use only the finest sustainable leather, approved by The Leather Working Group, to create your favorite piece of wearable art. The vibrant colors and intricate designs of each handbag tell a unique, captivating story, while offering both incredible functionality and surprising affordability.

As time passes, your Desti Saint handbag will gracefully age, developing a natural patina and becoming softer with use. Each piece retains its beauty over the years, but proper care will ensure it remains as striking as the day you first received it.

Maintaining the Original Shape

To keep your handbag looking its best, avoid allowing it to “slouch” when not in use. We recommend treating your leather with the same appreciation as you would your own skin. "Slouching" occurs when an empty or partially filled bag sits in a corner or on a surface, folding in on itself. This can create creases that prematurely age the leather.

How to Avoid Slouching

To preserve the shape of your handbag, pad the interior with a clean cloth or tissue paper when it’s not in use. This will help the bag stand upright and prevent unnecessary wrinkles. Additionally, when storing, place the bag in its dust bag to shield it from airborne dust and natural humidity.

Caring for Your Leather Handbag Day-to-Day

Moisture is the greatest enemy of your Desti Saint bag. Always strive to keep it clean and dry. In the event of rain or a spill, gently pat the leather dry with a soft cloth and allow the bag to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area.

After each use, a soft, dry cloth designed for leather can be used to remove dust and debris, helping to maintain its beauty.

Cleaning Your Desti Handbag

If your Desti Saint bag needs a more thorough cleaning, we recommend investing in a specialized leather cleaner.
However, not all cleaners are created equal, so we are happy to recommend products that are both gentle and effective.

Before applying any cleaner, always test it on a discreet area of the bag — no larger than a pea-sized spot, ideally on the interior or bottom. When cleaning, apply the cleaner to a clean cloth first and gently rub it into the leather. Be sure to remove any excess cleaner afterward.

Treating Your Leather

Your Desti Saint Artwear will only become more beautiful over time. The more you care for your bag, the better it will look. Our commitment to using the finest sustainable materials ensures that you own a piece of art — one that will remain a cherished part of your collection for years to come.
