Because timeless things deserve timeless care.
Luxury isn’t just about how it looks. It’s how it lives and how it lasts.
At AKINNA, we don’t design bags for a season. We design for stories, the everyday kind and the once-in-a-lifetime kind. We create future heirlooms, not fast fashion. Each piece, stitched with intention and shaped by hand, carries the weight of timelessness. From shine of Croco to the whisper-soft touch of Python, our Indian leathers are just as complex and captivating as the women who carry them.
But beauty like this asks for care. This is your ritual, not a routine. A quiet way of saying: I see you. I value you. I’m keeping you.
This guide is your ritual, a way to care deeply and deliberately.
The Ultimate Leather Care Guide
Five textures. Infinite elegance. One philosophy: respect what you own.
Our bags are crafted for daily drama, but they still deserve downtime. Here’s how to give each leather the love it needs to live beautifully, year after year.
Ostrich Leather
Distinctive. Soft. Iconic. With its signature quill pattern, Ostrich leather is effortlessly chic and enduringly rare.
Care Ritual
-
Clean: Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth, no harsh chemicals.
-
Condition: Use a conditioner made for exotic leathers to maintain its buttery finish.
-
Store: In a cool, dry place, away from sunlight, luxury doesn't like to sweat.
Croco Leather
Glossy. Exotic. Unapologetically bold. Croco brings that statement energy. Think power meetings and rooftop martinis.
Care Ritual
-
Clean: Dust with a dry cloth. For deeper care, use a cleaner meant for high-shine finishes.
-
Condition: A touch of conditioner, sparingly, just enough to keep it sleek, not greasy.
-
Store: Always in a dust bag. This diva deserves protection.
Smooth Calf Leather
Supple. Refined. Effortlessly elegant. Like a perfectly tailored coat, Smooth Calf is luxury in its purest form.
Care Ritual
-
Clean: A damp cloth does the trick. For stains, opt for a gentle leather cleanser.
-
Condition: Treat it monthly with a light conditioner to prevent dryness or cracks.
-
Store: Lay flat in a dust bag. Avoid pressure or stacking, it marks easily.
Python Leather
Wild. Textured. Whisper-soft. Python adds intrigue to minimal silhouettes. She's a showstopper and a little high-maintenance.
Care Ritual
-
Clean: Never wet. Just a dry, soft cloth to remove dust along the scales.
-
Condition: Use a conditioner made for exotic skins to keep it flexible.
-
Store: Breathable cloth, cool corner. Keep away from humidity and gossip.
Pebbled / Grainy Leather
Tough. Textured. Beautifully grounded. AKINNA’s most resilient texture, built for everyday boldness.
Care Ritual
-
Clean: Damp cloth for quick clean-ups; a deeper leather cleaner for the real stuff.
-
Condition: A good rub of conditioner will highlight its gorgeous grain.
-
Store: Dust bag, always. And maybe not near your stilettos.
We don’t believe in throwaway fashion. We believe in thoughtful wear, in stories layered over time. Leather, like all beautiful things, changes, softens, deepens, tells a story. When you take care of it, it becomes a part of your journey. Not just a bag. A witness to your becoming.
