To ensure you enjoy your Gusti Leder bag for a long time, it needs to be properly cared for. After unpacking, it's best to impregnate the bag. You can use a regular impregnation spray, which optimally protects the bag from moisture and fading sunlight. Otherwise, your Gusti Leder studio bag is quite robust and not easily worn out. This makes it the lovable and uncomplicated companion that it is.

For the optimal leather care of your Gusti Leder studio bag, the care product should be adapted to the type of leather. Suede, smooth leather, nubuck – there is the right care product for everything to keep the leather supple and soft even after 50 years. Whether your leather care is suitable for the leather of your bag is usually stated on the leather care product. A care product based on beeswax is a natural option that can be used especially for smooth leather.

The use of wax for leather items is important to keep them in good condition.

We are pleased to introduce our Gusti Beeswax, which we produce in our own facility. This leather balm is made from natural ingredients and makes your leather shinier, more water-repellent, and longer-lasting.

We are very transparent about our production process and ensure that our customers are satisfied with the high-quality products they receive.

To make our beeswax, we first heat sunflower oil. Then we add natural beeswax to the oil and let it melt. Once the beeswax has melted, we add a natural honey aroma to the mixture and blend all three ingredients until they are fully combined. Then we pour the mixture into metal containers and let it cool and thicken.

Then our beeswax is ready for use!

Properly care for your leather items by following these 3 simple steps:

• Thoroughly clean the surface with a damp cloth to remove dirt

• Apply Gusti Beeswax with a clean cloth and gently rub it in

• Use another towel to remove excess wax from your leather item

Sit back and admire your shiny and smooth leather companion!

Leather wax enhances the appearance of leather. However, it's important to know how to care for your leather friend with beeswax.

Avoid applying too much beeswax, as this can lead to a buildup on the surface and cause your leather products to get dirty faster.

Beeswax has natural water-repellent properties and is therefore the best choice for protecting your leather products. It prevents the leather from absorbing moisture and slows down the wear of the leather. Beeswax helps the leather retain its shape and additionally gives it a radiant shine. It is easy to use and thus the best way to keep your leather in excellent condition.

Whether it's your handbags, wallets, travel bags, or any other leather accessory - you can easily clean them at home. Give your favorites the extra care they need with our new leather cleaning product. The revolutionary shampoo spray not only cleans leather products but also creates a thin protective layer against dust at the same time.

How is it applied?

Spray the shampoo onto the leather surface and gently rub it in with the brush. The soft bristles of the brush remove dirt without scratching or damaging your leather items. Additionally, the fragrant shampoo helps reduce the leather smell and gives your leather items an aromatic scent. You can use the shampoo for your smooth leather, nubuck/suede, or fabric products.

Please note that the product cannot be used to remove oil stains from the leather surface.

Leather products can get water stains or discolorations when they come into contact with water. Take care of your leather accessories by applying our water-repellent spray. It protects your leather handbags, jackets, and shoes from dirt and moisture. The spray preserves the quality and appearance of your leather accessories and keeps them in optimal condition. It is easy to apply and very effective in protecting leather products from wet conditions.

Application of the water-repellent spray

Wipe your leather handbag, shoes, or jacket with a clean, soft cloth. Now spray the product evenly onto the surface of the leather products, keeping a distance of about 30 cm between the nozzle and the leather. Let the spray dry for at least 20 minutes before using the products.

Our leather comes from free-range goats in India. In the steppe, there are many dangers for their skin, such as thorn bushes. Once caught on them and - ZACK! - there's a scratch. But this only shows once again how natural our products are. If such a scratch bothers you a lot, grab a leather care product based on beeswax and a cloth or small sponge. Lightly moisten the cloth or sponge and make sure it doesn't get too wet. Then dab the beeswax carefully onto the spot and rub it in. The beeswax causes the spot to darken slightly, making the scratch no longer visible. This effect enhances the individual look and charm of your bag. Note: Applying a beeswax care product also serves as additional impregnation. However, this makes the leather a bit darker.

Our bags are handmade. Occasionally, it may happen that the threads at the seams are not cut and protrude. Here too, the simplest solution is: Do it yourself! (Or the man!). Just grab your nail scissors from the bathroom and carefully cut off the threads. But be careful not to get too close to the seams, otherwise they might come undone.
