I am worried that the color of the leather bag might rub off onto light-colored clothes. What should I do?

Many people hesitate to carry a dark brown leather bag with light-colored clothes out of concern that it might leave marks. Since there is a color-transfer warning in the product details, it makes one wonder what exactly should be done.

hmmm editorial answer

When you first receive it, simply wipe it once with a dry cloth, and just be careful about carrying it with light-colored clothes while the oil dries.

GRANDMA USED BAG LARGE saddle brown pull-up is a product whose leather has undergone washing to create a worn look. After this process, the oil inside the leather rises to the surface, and MARGESHERWOOD provides a advance warning because color transfer may occur if it comes into contact with light-colored clothing at this time[1].

Generally, leather generously treated with oil shows a phenomenon where the oil is pushed aside in areas that are folded or pulled, causing the color in those spots to lighten before returning. The name pull-up comes from this characteristic, and because it holds a lot of oil, it easily seeps to the surface in the beginning.

Therefore, care right after receiving the item is simple. Wiping it once with a dry cloth clears away any rub-off, and as time passes and the oil dries, the rub-off naturally disappears[2]. Generally, for this kind of care, it is best to use a dry cotton cloth instead of water, detergent, or wet wipes, and to wipe the back of the bag and the strap areas first, as they come into contact with clothing the most.

hmmm, the warning to be careful with light-colored clothes reads less like a lifelong condition tied to this bag and more like an instruction that applies to the early period until the oil dries.

We have not yet confirmed approximately how long it takes for the oil to dry and for the rub-off to disappear.
