Vegan leather still needs care — it dries and cracks where real leather would just patina. Here is the plant-based routine.
Wipe, Then Protect
Clean with a damp cloth, then a thin layer of a vegan-friendly conditioner or a drop of mild oil on a cloth. The patchwork tote stays supple this way.
Avoid Heat and Sun
Heat is vegan leather's enemy — it cracks fast. The totes last years kept cool and conditioned.
The Rule
Pro tip: condition vegan leather twice a year, not never. A thin, even layer beats a heavy one — too much product attracts dust and dulls the surface.
Care for the vegan-friendly totes.
