Why Choose a Leather Bag?
A good quality leather bag, made of full-grain leather, can last up to 30 years. In addition to durability, the bag only becomes more beautiful over time. It's important, however, to properly care for the bag with leather cream and keep it stored well. Leather is a natural material that adapts to your use, making each bag unique with its own character.

A Leather Weekend Bag and Laptop Bag to Go with a Three-Piece Suit
An elegant leather weekend bag or laptop bag is the perfect complement to a three-piece suit. This combination exudes class and professionalism. The leather of the bag complements the structured nature of the suit, creating a harmonious and refined whole. Ideal for business trips or important meetings where you want to leave a strong first impression.
How to Maintain Your Leather Bag?
Proper maintenance is crucial to keeping your leather bag in top condition. Avoid exposure to extreme heat and do not use aggressive cleaning agents. Wiping it regularly with a dry or slightly damp cloth helps keep your bag clean without causing stains.
Can a Leather Bag Withstand Rain?
Leather is water-resistant to a certain extent, but it is not waterproof. If your bag gets wet, let it dry naturally without using a heat source. For extra protection, you can use an impregnating spray, such as Collonil Carbon Wax spray, which makes the leather water-resistant.
What to Consider in the Dimensions of a Leather Bag?
Choosing the right dimensions for your leather bag is essential. Think about what you want to carry daily. For a laptop bag, it's important that your laptop fits easily, with some space for documents and accessories. A weekend bag should be large enough for several days' worth of clothing and toiletries, but not so big that it becomes cumbersome while traveling.
Is a Leather Bag Suitable for All Seasons?
Leather bags are surprisingly versatile and suitable for every season. In the summer, a light, brown-colored bag adds a fresh touch to your outfit, while a dark leather bag in the winter exudes a feeling of warmth and luxury. Just make sure to treat the leather with the right products to protect it from sunlight and rain.
How Do You Know If You're Dealing with Genuine Leather?
You can recognize genuine leather by its texture, smell, and overall feel. Genuine leather often has an irregular texture with natural imperfections. It also unmistakably smells like leather and not like chemicals. If in doubt, you can check the label or ask the seller for advice to confirm that it is genuine leather.
Can I Use a Leather Bag for Business?
Absolutely, a leather bag is an excellent choice for business purposes. A well-designed leather laptop bag or briefcase exudes professionalism and sophistication. Opt for neutral colors like black, brown, or navy blue to ensure that the bag complements a formal outfit well.
How to Pair a Leather Bag with Your Outfit?
A black leather bag is a safe choice because it goes with everything. However, for a standout look, you can opt for a bag in a contrasting color like bright red or cobalt blue. This adds a playful element to your outfit and can serve as a stylish focal point.
What Should I Do If My Leather Bag Gets Stains?
If you've ordered a leather bag from The Garrison and it gets stains, it's important to proceed with caution. Use a cleaner specifically designed for leather and test it first on a less visible part of the bag. Use a soft cloth and gently rub in circular motions. Avoid using too much water, as it can actually cause more stains.
