CARE & CLEANING

The scratches on the bag are the sign of it being the top grain leather. The distressed signs on it don’t mean that it is defective, but that is just because of the rustic and antique look of the leather.

When you are buying 100% genuine leather, you would know that leather has its own shade and tint. The pictures and original product will have slight deviation because of the natural tanning process done through vegetable oil. Original leather will always be a bit different from what you see in photos.

The leather bags are genuine and go through a natural sun tanning process because of which there is a typical smell of the leather when it is new. The best way to get rid of it is to use it; the smell will fade away after more usage.

People often believe that leathers are soft in nature, but leather are of distinctive types because of which some leather need to be used more to make it soft. Initially, it may come off stiff, but it will be smoother over the time.

In case your bag gets wet, you can leave it to dry in the sunlight before the next use completely. You can even add crumpled newspaper pieces in the bag compartments to get the bag into shape.

Your bag can turn dry because of it getting wet multiple times or because of the changing atmosphere. If you want to get the softness and shine back, you can gently apply a coat of vegetable oil, baby oil, or sunflower oil. You can also opt for leather care products if you don’t prefer using oils on your bag.

A scratch here or there may go off unnoticed because of the antique design, but you can apply vegetable oil, baby oil, or sunflower oil if you want to mend this.
