Caring for Bags & Accessories

Leather, canvas and textiles are like living skin, they need to be nourished and protected as they age. Here the Maison shares some simple, refined practices so you can look after your favourite pieces and keep them enduringly beautiful and special.

Berluti designed this practical guide to help you master the art of caring for leather, canvas, and textiles. These are the essential steps to nourish and protect each material, according to its nature. For professional, long-lasting care, our ateliers are always at your disposal.

Well-maintained leather ages gracefully. Three simple steps are all it takes to preserve the beauty of your pieces from the Jour line in Venezia leather.


Cleaning Gently clean using a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt without damaging the material.


Waxing Next, rub in a suitable wax that's slightly lighter than the original shade; this nourishes and protects the leather, bringing out a subtle patina. Any excess can be brushed off with a bristle brush.


Polishing Once the leather's dry, use a polishing glove to restore its sheen, then gently buff with a cloth for a smooth, even finish.


If repeated monthly, this ritual will extend the life of your leather accessories. You’re always welcome to bring any piece into our store so our artisans can restore it to its original splendour.

The Marbeuf line


Elegant yet hardwearing, the canvas of Berluti’s Marbeuf line is designed to withstand everyday use. All it needs is a simple, regular ritual of care to keep it looking handsome for many years to come.


The first step is to give it a gentle clean. Use a soft, dry cloth to remove any surface dirt, before gently wiping the canvas sections with a clean cloth slightly moistened in soapy water. Avoid any parts made of leather. Wipe down with a dry cloth and leave the piece to air dry.


Making this a monthly habit will help to safeguard the enduring beauty of your bag. You can also bring it in for expert cleaning by our artisans in-store.

It's also well worth cultivating the inner beauty of your favourite pieces. Inconspicuous but essential, their fabric linings deserve special care to keep them fresh and attractive. All it takes is a simple ritual of spot cleaning: first remove any dirt with a soft, dry cloth, then gently spot clean with another cloth, slightly moistened in soapy water. Avoid any parts made of leather. Wipe thoroughly and leave to air dry.
