AYS Bags — How to Store Your Leather Bag Long-Term

How you store your AYS bag between uses can make the difference between a bag that lasts 2 years and one that lasts 20.

• Stuff it. Fill your bag with acid-free tissue paper or a bag pillow to help it hold its shape.
• Use a dust bag. Store in the included dust bag or a breathable cotton pillowcase — never plastic, which traps moisture and causes mold.
• Store upright. Avoid hanging bags by their straps for long periods, as this can stretch the leather.
• Keep away from light and heat. Direct sunlight and radiators dry out and fade leather. Store in a cool, dark place.
• Condition before storing. Apply a thin layer of conditioner before long-term storage to prevent drying and cracking.
