How to care for a leather doctor's bag?

Our doctor’s bags have a long lifespan, provided they are well maintained, used and cared for. Below we give you some tips to keep your bag in optimal condition.

Make sure your doctor’s bag is not too full. An overfilled bag quickly loses its shape and will show signs of wear earlier at the seams, bottom, closures and handles.

Due to the high quality and pre-treatment of the leather, maintaining the leather of our doctor’s bags is quite simple. Dust and dirt can be removed with a slightly damp cloth. Even after a rain shower, this won’t hurt.

Subsequently, the leather can be treated once or twice a year with a plant-based care product such as Collonil Organic Protect & Care. A care product based on olive oil (never use regular olive oil). This applies particularly to undyed leather types. We do not advocate treating the leather too intensively. This can even be counterproductive and cause the natural character of the leather to be lost.

Whatever product you use, we recommend testing it first on the underside of your bag so you can assess the result before treating the entire bag with it.
