Yellowing of white leather

White leather naturally yellows over time through a process called oxidation. This phenomenon is triggered when the leather is exposed to oxygen, UV rays, heat or humidity. The proteins and colorants contained in the leather gradually degrade, resulting in a fading of the color.

Here are some other aggravating factors:

• Sun exposure: UV rays accelerate oxidation, causing more rapid yellowing.

• Dirt and grease: repeated contact with hands, clothes or surfaces transfers oils and impurities that eventually stain leather.

• Incorrect storage: a bag stored in a damp or poorly ventilated area risks not only yellowing, but also mold growth.

How to prevent yellowing of white leather bags

The secret? Prevention, right from the start. Here's how:

1. Protect your bag before first use

Apply our WATERPROOFER to create an invisible barrier against moisture, stains and dirt. It's your first line of defense, especially for light-colored, sensitive leathers.

2. Touch it with clean hands

Sebum and skin impurities accumulate on the leather. Always handle your bag with clean, dry hands.

3. Nourish leather with integrated UV protection

Like your skin, leather needs protection from the sun's rays. Luxury Care's LEATHER CARE deeply moisturizes leather while protecting it with its integrated UV filter. It preserves the suppleness and color of your bag over time.

4. Avoid direct exposure to light

Always store your bag out of direct sunlight. Use a protective cover (preferably made of breathable cotton) to prevent humidity fluctuations.

5. Clean your bag regularly

Use our CLEANER to remove impurities and stains before they set in. It gently cleans without drying out the leather, and restores shine to white leathers.

6. Rotate your bags

Avoid using the same bag over and over again. Alternating the models in your collection reduces premature wear and the risk of yellowing.

What can you do if your bag has already turned yellow?

Don't panic: even if oxidation cannot be completely reversed, it is possible to reduce yellowing with the right care.

• Deep cleaning: start with CLEANER to remove surface stains and dull residues.

• Targeted moisturizing: follow with LEATHER CARE to nourish, soften and protect the leather. Its UV filter prevents future light damage.
