Leather Care

 

Our bags are handmade with American vegetable tanned leather. Leathers that are tanned using vegetable extracts will develop a warm touch and character with time and daily use. It is a natural evolution which makes each bag unique and personal. Some of our colors may darken with daily use, discolor with extended exposure to sun, and stain when in contact with water. 

Some vegetable tanned leather is more prone to scratches and will develop a soft hand and patina over time. We recommend avoiding all contact with water, oily products, products made of solvent or alcohol. If the leather should get wet, let it dry and rub gently with a soft neutral color cloth.  We recommend Fiebing's Carnauba Creme or Imperial Venetian Leather Balm. They may darken the bag for a few minutes but they will protect and nourish it. After application the bag can be buffed gently to achieve a rich patina.
