Obviously, this answer depends on the style of the bag. But yes, the majority of Coach bags are made of premium leather. The brand’s origins are in leather goods, initially branding themselves as the Original American House of Leather focused on making beautiful yet practical pieces. So when you get a leather Coach bag, you know you’re getting a high-quality piece that is crafted to last a lifetime. They’re also committing to making their leather bags more sustainable, promising that 90% of their leather will be sourced from Silver- and Gold-rated Leather Working Group tanneries by 2025.
As well as leather, a lot of Coach bags are made of coated canvas, which is where the woven canvas material is coated in wax or resin to make it waterproof and protected. This is the material they use for their Signature print.
How to clean coated canvas:
Coated canvas is really easily cleaned due to its protective coating. When you notice any marks;
Start by giving your bag a wipe over with a dry cloth to remove any loose dirt or dust.
For a deeper clean, place a gentle fabric detergent or soap into some lukewarm water, then use a cloth to clean the exterior gently.
Leave it to fully air dry but avoid leaving the bag in direct sunlight.
Leather is skin so needs its own skincare routine. To keep your bag looking pristine, try to give it a deep clean every 3 months, but protect it from day one.
To protect your bag, get yourself a leather protection spray and give the bag a thorough spray over on day one. This will help create a seal over the leather to protect against staining or damage from sun or watermarks. Also, consider using a dust bag or makeup bag to keep your things in, this will help prevent any stains on the lining.
