Care
To ensure the longevity of your special piece, please follow these care instructions.
Cleaning
Wipe occasionally with a slightly damp cotton cloth to remove any dirt.
Leather Bloom
If your bag is not used regularly, you may notice white dots forming on the surface – this happens when waxes and oils naturally rise up. Gently warm the leather surface with a hair dryer and buff with a dry cotton cloth. This is effectively reconditioning the leather by working waxes and oils back into it.
If you feel compelled to further condition your bag, we recommend a product made with natural waxes and oils like Smith’s All Natural Leather Balm, but please know that we don't think it's necessary. Sometimes conditioners dull the sheen of the leather if not fully worked in, so always spot test on a hidden part of the bag. Most treatments will darken lighter colored leathers.
Brass
The hardware on your bag is solid brass which may tarnish over time. While we embrace the imperfect, we also understand that you might prefer the shiny brass look. To restore shine, wipe brass with a cloth dampened with white vinegar, taking care to keep the leather vinegar-free.
