How to Take care of suede

Our water-resistant suede pieces are known for their beautifully soft texture and rich, velvety finish. With just a little extra care, your bag will age gracefully and remain a favorite for years to come.


Storage Tips

  • Before your first wear, lightly apply a suede protector spray to help guard against moisture and stains.
  • Store your bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
  • When not in use, gently stuff your bag with tissue paper to help it keep its shape.
  • Place it inside its Lyons Leather Co. dust bag for added protection.
  • Avoid storing in plastic, as it can trap moisture and harm the suede.

Care & Maintenance

  • Always handle your suede bag with clean, dry hands to help prevent marks or stains.
  • For light dust or surface dirt, use a soft suede brush or your hand to gently wipe it away.
  • Regular brushing helps maintain that signature texture and keeps your suede looking fresh.
  • Try to avoid carrying suede in wet, rainy or very humid weather—moisture can cause staining or color transfer, especially with pieces from the Sienna, Violet and Moss Collections.
  • If your bag does get damp, blot gently with a clean cloth and let it air dry naturally. Never use heat or direct sunlight to speed up drying.
  • Once dry, use a suede brush or soft toothbrush to revive the nap and restore its softness.
  • It’s normal for suede to shed a few fibers over time—simply brush them away.
  • Reapply suede protector every 2–3 months to keep the surface guarded and looking its best.
  • For small spots, a suede eraser or clean cloth often works well—avoid using water or general cleaners.
  • When in doubt, take your bag to a professional who specializes in leather and suede care.
  • DO NOT condition or polish.


A little care goes a long way in preserving the beauty of your Lyons Leather Co. suede bag—so you can carry it confidently for years to come.
