Using a spray bottle, softly wet the leather with rubbing alcohol. You may also use a cloth or even a toothbrush to apply it. Make cautious not to flood your bag; you only want to moisten it with rubbing alcohol, which will dry out the leather and begin to produce an aged effect.

To enhance the worn appearance of the leather, rub it with fine-grade sandpaper. Pay special attention to areas of your luggage that generally suffer the most wear and tear, such as the bottom and corners. This is also an excellent time to take a breather, assess your work, and consider using leather conditioner to pamper the leather.

Apply a wire brush, or a stiff bristles brush to your leather to achieve a more distressed look. Apply the meeting in the same manner as the sandpaper, focusing on areas of natural wear.

Crease, crumple, and knead the leather while it is still damp from the rubbing alcohol. This is how you distress leather to give it a worn appearance with wrinkles and folds on the surface.
