Business Bags

Hello, I'm Sugawara, a designer.

What is not widely known about using a business bag is that

How to store unused items.

If you neglect storage,

There is also a possibility that the bag will lose its shape or develop mold, which can cause damage to the bag.

This time, we will introduce some important points to ensure that you can use it for a long time.

Here's how to store it properly

■ What to prepare

Business Bags

・Brush for bags/leather accessories ・Cloth (for dry wiping)
-Newspaper -The non-woven bag that the product was wrapped in

* Avoid fabrics made of pile, as they may get caught on zippers, etc. We recommend soft fabrics made of natural materials, such as cotton, that won't scratch your bag.

■ Timing of storage

Business Bags

[Storage for everyday use]
Everyday bags, such as wallets and work bags, can be used to prevent the bag from becoming worn out. If you take out the contents and let it rest on the weekends, you can prevent the bag from becoming worn out. Putting a towel or rolled up newspaper inside the bag will help absorb moisture and prevent it from losing its shape.

[Long-term storage]
Remove all contents and replace them with towels or rolled up newspapers, then store them in the fabric bags they came in to prevent them from gathering dust and other materials in the closet.

Storage bags should be avoided, as they are made of materials that can cause deterioration, such as vinyl. Also, if you keep it in a bag for a long time, it may become damp, so take it out of the bag every now and then and refresh it in a well-ventilated, shady place.

■ Storage method

Business Bags

1. Remove dirt with a brush

Before storing, first use a brush to remove any dirt. Brush the entire surface lightly. If you have time, we also recommend wiping it dry with a soft cloth.

2. Put in rolled up newspapers

To prevent the bag from losing its shape, put in rolled up newspaper. Newspaper absorbs moisture moderately and the smell of ink also acts as an insect repellent. However, there is a risk that the ink may transfer to the interior, so it is safer to wrap the bag in a towel or other cloth before putting it in. We recommend putting the bag in a "bag frame" when storing it, as this will help maintain the shape.

3. Store in a bag

To avoid dust and unexpected scratches, store the product in the non-woven bag that it came in. Plastic bags are not breathable and can react with paints and coatings, causing deterioration and adhesion, so do not use them.

Store it upright or on a clothes rack to prevent it from losing its shape.
Also, try to store it away from direct sunlight and lighting as much as possible. Exposure to light and heat can cause leather to tan and deteriorate. Even if it is stored in a non-woven bag, continued exposure to light and heat can cause fading and discoloration, so please be careful.

Also, choose a place with good ventilation to prevent mold and mildew from growing. Wherever you put your bag, it's important to check it regularly to make sure it's in good condition.


Use it, let it rest. Leather products are meant to be used repeatedly, and can last for a long time. Why not pay attention to how you store your leather products so that they can rest comfortably?

YOUTA representative and designer Sugawara

There are a lot of cool clothes for men, but not many bags. So we decided to make our own. With this frank idea in mind, we launched the men's bag brand "YOUTA" in 2006. Having worked in various apparel-related jobs such as clothes, watches, and shoes, I focused on synthetic leather. It is a lightweight and rain-resistant material, so unlike leather, it does not require maintenance. The reason we chose synthetic leather is that it is "vegan leather," a non-animal material that suits the modern era. We hope that you will enjoy a comfortable and enjoyable business life with our high-quality bags certified by Toyooka Bags and playful customizations.
