How to maintain your bag?
Caring for a Lamarthe bag
Leather may be a naturally durable material, but it is nonetheless alive. To ensure its longevity, regular maintenance and specific care are essential. Your leather goods must be regularly cared for if you want them to age well and survive daily use. Please note that irregularities in the leather are a guarantee of its authenticity.
Lamarthe offers some practical advice for caring for your leather goods so that your purchase is a pleasure that lasts a long time.
Tips for caring for full-grain cowhide/calfskin leather
The best advice that Lamarthe can give you for taking care of your full-grain cowhide/calfskin leather accessories is to nourish them with a cleansing and nourishing milk.
Before handling your accessories, please dust them with a microfiber cloth or a soft brush. We recommend applying the milk to a soft, dry, clean cloth, spreading it gently with circular movements until the product is completely absorbed into the leather. Remove any excess, let it sit, and then wipe lightly with a soft, dry cloth.

To make the pleasure last longer...
When you're not wearing your leather goods, provide them with the best possible storage conditions. We recommend storing your leather goods in the Lamarthe protective case in a cool, dry place away from light.
To maintain the shape of your leather goods, line them with tissue paper, closing all the zips, and protect the metal accessories so that they do not leave marks on the leather.
Preserve them!
Leather, being a living material, is sensitive to natural elements.
It is well known that water is the most dangerous scourge for leather. In case of contact with water, we advise you to wipe your leather goods immediately with a soft cloth to avoid any stains or other damage.
Leather doesn't like intense heat, so we recommend avoiding leaving your leather goods near radiators or exposing them to prolonged sunlight. Your leather goods will adapt to your lifestyle and the ups and downs of everyday life.
If your clumsiness causes a grease stain, we recommend sprinkling the grease stain with “Terre de Sommières” and leaving it to absorb for a few hours. Remove the powder with a soft brush.
We ask you to pay attention to overloading your Lamarthe bag, which is a recurring cause of accelerated wear.
