A quality briefcase is one of life’s great joys. If you’ve gone the extra mile to invest in a well-made leather briefcase, you will quite rightly want to care for it correctly. The temptation is to treat your briefcase like you would a pair of leather shoes, regularly treating and polishing, but looked after correctly your bag shouldn’t need as much care. Leather is naturally an incredibly durable material, so all it needs is a bit of a helping hand to last you for years, if not decades.I’ve put together this guide specifically to care for a soft leather briefcase, similar to the ones that we make at Billy Tannery, but these tips are also helpful for other quality leather items. As long as it’s made from full-grain leather, you can also care for a messenger bag, laptop bag and any other man bag in this way.One of the most obvious care rules is to keep your briefcase clean. Left to soak in, dirt and other spillages will likely stain your leather. However much like your own skin, your leather will also need to be treated with products specifically designed for that purpose.
