Care instructions for your bupell bag made of vegetable-tanned leather

Thank you for your trust in bupell.

Your bupell bag is more than a product – it is a symbol of quality and awareness.
We will help you now to ensure that you enjoy it for as long as possible.

“Is there anything I need to consider?”

Not much – but a little care pays off.
Vegetable-tanned leather develops a beautiful patina over time – but this requires one thing above all: peace and quiet.

“What’s the best way to clean my bag?”

Simply use a dry, soft cloth to gently remove any dust or small dirt.
That’s all you need in everyday life.

For heavier stains: use a slightly damp cotton cloth or a special cleaner for naturally tanned leather. No alcohol. No aggressive agents.

“What if the bag gets wet?”

No stress.
Carefully pat off the water and let it air dry slowly – not on the heater, not in the sun .
Heat removes the leather's natural oils, and we want to avoid that.

“Does she need care?”

Yes – but only occasionally, please.
Every few months (depending on use), you can apply a little leather balm, shoe polish, or a mild care lotion. Make sure it's suitable for vegetable-tanned leather .

Apply sparingly with a soft cloth, allow to absorb, and polish if necessary. Done.

“What’s the best way to store the bag?”

Best stored in a dry, well-ventilated place.
If you don’t use it for a while:

• Do not store in plastic.
• Better in a cotton bag or openly in the cupboard.
• And: Some filling material (paper, cloth) helps to maintain the shape.

Any other tips?

Carry your bag. Use it. Let it live.
Small scratches or patina are not flaws – they tell your story.
