LUXURY THROUGH CARE

Leather Care Guide

General Leather Care

Cafuné leather goods are crafted in the finest skins and hardware. Every skin is natural and unique - variations in tones, marks or grains should not be considered as imperfections.
    To ensure the longevity of your Cafuné bag, we recommend you to:

  • Avoid over exposure to direct lighting
  • Avoid excess contact with water, oils, perfumes or cosmetics
  • Some leathers may be sensitive to colour transfer, especially in humid conditions. Please take care when wearing a dark-coloured bag together with light-coloured fabric and vice versa
  • Avoid overfilling your bag to maintain its overall appearance and life
  • When not in use, store your bag or wallets in its original dust bag in a dry cool place, and keep the bag's stuffing inside to hold the shape
  • Avoid storing in high temperature, humid or unventilated areas; avoid hanging bags up as this can stretch the strap or handles

Caring for Your Cafuné

To accompany your Cafuné bag through the years, we have created the Cafuné x Act of Caring Leather Care Kit - a mindful collaboration designed to help you preserve the natural character of your bag with ease.

This kit contains gentle, eco-conscious formulas and tools, carefully chosen to clean, condition, and protect your leather goods without compromising their integrity. Regular care is a ritual - a way to honour the craftsmanship of your bag and extend its story.

Below, you’ll find simple steps on how to use your Cafuné x Act of Caring kit to keep your bag at its best.
Step 1 – Cleanse the Surface
Begin by gently cleansing your bag with the Restoring Leather Cleanser. Dampen the sponge and add 4–5 pumps of the cleanser, squeezing to create a soft foam. Apply in light motions across the leather to lift away dirt, then wipe clean and let the surface dry naturally.

Formulated with organic coconut-based soap and free from harsh chemicals, this cleanser purifies while respecting the natural character of the leather.
Step 2 – Protect & Polish
Nourish and protect your bag with the Protecting Leather Balm. With a soft cotton cloth, apply a small amount of balm in circular movements. Immediately polish with the cloth to remove any excess, ensuring no residue settles on seams or stitching. For a final touch, buff briskly with the clean side of the cloth — this restores softness and brings out a subtle, revived shine.

Note: Always test the cleanser and balm on a discreet area before full application. As leather is a natural material, care should be minimal and intentional — use the balm only when the leather feels dry and in need of moisture. On light coloured leather, the balm may darken the leather temporarily, but it will revert to its original colour after a few days.
Step 3 – Refresh & Refine
Complete your ritual by caring for the inside and hardware details.

Interior: Mist the Fabric Refresher 1–2 times inside the bag from around 20cm away. Allow the bag to remain open until fully dry, letting the natural notes of the refresher to gently infuse. The formula contains natural zinc salt to neutralise odours, leaving only a clean, airy freshness.

Hardware: Polish the metal parts of your bag using the Hardware Cloth. For tougher tarnish, lightly dampen one corner of the cloth to clean, then finish by buffing with the dry section. The cloth, infused with a mild soap, can be reused until fully worn out (do not wash).
Tips
Allow at least 20 minutes to complete this ritual of care. Frequent care helps to maintain the longevity of your Cafuné. Go through the care ritual every season, or whenever you feel needed, depending on how frequent the bag is being used.

Please note: the cleanser and balm are not suitable for nubuck or suede.
