A The Bridge accessory ages like fine wine, growing even more beautiful over time when properly cared for.
To take care of your genuine leather products by The Bridge, follow these simple tips to enjoy your bag, backpack, luggage, or accessory for as long as possible:
• Protect from direct sunlight, heat, and rain. If the product gets wet, dry it immediately by gently patting it with a soft cloth - don't rub.
• To nourish the leather or remove stains, apply a small amount of neutral wax or a leather-specific cleaning product with a sponge or soft cloth using circular motions. Avoid using alcohol or solvents. Let it air-dry away from direct heat, then polish with a dry, soft cloth. The canvas bags and accessories from The Bridge can be cleaned with a damp soft cloth. For persistent stains, use a mild stain remover, avoiding harsh detergents.
• Store in a dry place inside the The Bridge dust bag provided at purchase. Fill the product with tissue paper to help maintain its shape.
With the The Bridge kit, you can ensure your item lasts longer and ages beautifully.

1) How to clean a leather bag
To clean a genuine leather bag from The Bridge, use a dampened sponge or cloth with a small amount of leather care product, like the one included in our cleaning kit. Gently apply in circular motions, focusing on areas with stains or scratches. Allow it to air-dry away from direct heat, then buff with a soft, dry cloth for a polished finish.
2) How to clean a leather wallet
Completely empty the wallet of its contents and use a small brush, if needed, to remove dust and dirt from the pockets. Gently clean the leather sections using the sponge from our cleaning kit and a small amount of neutral cream or leather-specific cleaner. Let it air-dry thoroughly, then buff with a soft cloth to keep the leather supple and shiny.
3) How to clean leather gloves
To clean your leather gloves, gently wipe them with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Never wash them in the washing machine. Remove the soap with a clean damp cloth and let the gloves dry in a well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight or heat sources. For example, do not place them on a radiator. When they are almost dry but still slightly damp, put them on to help maintain the shape of the fingers. Finally, treat them with a leather cream, such as the one included in The Bridge cleaning and maintenance kit.
4) How to remove mold from leather
Remove mold by brushing it off with a soft-bristled brush or a dry cloth. Then, treat the leather with a conditioning balm, like the one in our cleaning kit to nourish the material and preserve its elasticity, preventing hardening or cracking.
