Care that preserves values
A bag from Oberwerth is a companion for life. To ensure that the leather retains its natural beauty, suppleness and expressiveness for years to come, the right care is crucial.
Our selected care products are precisely tailored to the special characteristics of our leather types. They help to preserve the feel, protect against external influences and promote the characterful patina that makes every bag unique.
Here you will find everything you need to care for your Oberwerth bag in a stylish and sustainable way.

Classic Line
The vegetable-tanned, full-grain cowhide of the Classic Line products impresses with its smooth and firm feel. Our Care & Protect Organic Spray is ideal for the regular care of a Classic Line product. It consists of over 90% natural ingredients and cares for the leather gently and sustainably. It also provides the necessary moisture that keeps the leather alive.
To remove scratches or other damage, we recommend our Recovery Cream. This cream impregnates and cares for the leather in equal measure. It protects and at the same time has a color activating effect. This special function allows you to polish away scratches as if by magic. The leather shines in its former glory and retains its as-new appearance.
The most elaborate, but also the most effective way to care for and protect the leather of Classic Line bags is to apply Power Care Leather Preserve Wax. This grease combines care, protection and impregnation in one. We recommend this wax rather for darker types of leather, as light-colored leather could darken due to the grease. The wax is extremely productive, although you should definitely pay attention to the instructions on the product page to avoid leaving grease residue on the leather.

Casual Line
The Casual Line leather is extremely robust and at the same time soft and supple. To remove any soiling, we recommend the Care & Protect Organic Spray. This cares for and cleans the leather without making it greasy or leaving any residue.
The Recovery Cream can also be used in an emergency to conceal scratches or marks. However, these should be polished away well with a soft cloth after use.

Hydro Line
To care for the Hydro Line leather, we recommend the Hydro Plus Organic Spray.
This performs all 3 main functions: Clean - Care - Impregnate. With this spray you can care for your Hydro Line products in a natural way and maintain the water-repellent function of the leather.
The Organic Hydro Plus Spray contains natural bamboo extract, which prevents moisture loss from the leather and pampers your bag in a natural way. Thanks to the innovative, natural composition, your bag will retain its high-quality look as on the first day.

Vintage Line
The Vintage Line leather has a special finish and is therefore not particularly susceptible to dirt. As usual, the Leather Recovery Cream is best suited to removing minor scratches or marks.
This cream impregnates and cares for the leather in equal measure. It protects and activates the color at the same time. This special function allows you to polish away scratches as if by magic. The leather is restored to its former glory and retains its like-new appearance.
However, should the bag become dirty, you can polish it away with our Care & Protect spray and a soft cloth.

Soft leather
Our leather "Soft" is a high quality, soft smooth leather with a light protection. Due to the very thin protective layer, the leather is pleasantly warm and yet not too sensitive. For everyday cleaning, it is sufficient to dust the leather occasionally with a feather duster or dry dust cloth. For heavier soiling, we recommend cleaning with Care & Protect leather cleaner.
Do not work too wet to avoid marks. Always make a cleaning attempt in the concealed area first! Test especially carefully on light-colored leathers! In case of difficult stains, it is always better to contact a specialist company (e.g. www.lederzentrum.de) first.
You can quickly increase the mishap by incorrect cleaning attempts. For the care we recommend the Recovery Cream. This Aniline Cream is an effective stain protector and keeps the leather supple. Older leathers or leathers that are regularly exposed to sunlight or other sources of heat should also be maintained with Power Care Leather Preserve Wax. This wax provides the necessary re-greasing for dry leathers and protects against fading. Depending on the stress, heat and light intensity, the leather should be sparingly maintained every 3 to 12 months.

Luxury and Saffiano leather
The extremely soft and color-intensive leather of the Luxury Line is quite sensitive to cleaning agents.
To care for the leather of the Luxury Line or Luxury bags, we therefore recommend only gentle care with a dry to damp microfiber cloth.
Unlike untreated natural leather, Saffiano leather does not require any special care. If necessary, simply clean the surface with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth.
Cleaning agents or care products are not required and should be avoided. The leather retains its elegant look permanently even without additional treatment.

US Shell / Italian Shell Leather
For the care of the shell leather we recommend a gentle care with the Organic Care & Protect Spray.

Please take care not to work with too much moisture.

Horween Leather
For everyday cleaning, it is sufficient to dust the leather occasionally with a feather duster or dry dust cloth. For heavier soiling, we recommend cleaning with our mild leather cleaner Care & Protect. Do not work too wet to avoid marks. Always make a cleaning attempt in the concealed area first! Test especially carefully on light-colored leathers! In case of difficult stains, please contact us or send us the bag for examination.
Quickly you increase the mishap by wrong cleaning attempts. For the care we recommend our leather recovery cream. It is a care milk with the necessary regreasing and a UV protection. It protects the leather from fading and keeps it supple. Depending on the stress, heat and light intensity, the leather should be sparingly cared for every 3 to 12 months.
