How to properly protect your bag from the rain?
- Moisturize your leather well : “the first and most important thing is to hydrate the leather because the more hydrated it is, the more resistant it will be to humidity”, indicates the expert. How ? You must opt for a product specifically designed for leather and do so “regularly according to usage”. The cream used by the expert is Rénovateur Saphir, as she indicates in the comments.
- Waterproof your leather: This seems obvious, but so that the leather is not ruined by water, there are products: “but not with supermarket references. You also have to do it regularly,” explains May Berthelot. We opt for products sold in leather goods stores or specialized stores. The expert is banking on a Saphir product, as explained in the comments.
- Protect your bag with a tote bag : “you should always have a tote bag so you can slip your bag in as soon as it starts to rain.”
- Opt for a bag rain coat : “Some bags are sold with plastic raincoats that are already adapted to the size of the bag.”
