Take a soft, clean cloth to wipe your leather. Embossed leather is durable leather, so it won't scratch easily. If this is the case, apply colorless wax or a special leather milk that you will find at your cobbler.
Dab a hazelnut on a clean textile and rub the leather with small circular movements. Let dry 2h to 8h. Shield your bag from any prolonged exposure to light, intense heat or humidity and when you are not wearing it, keep it in its dustbag.
Our leathers have all been pre-treated so there is no need to waterproof it right after your purchase, wait 3 months of regular use to start a waterproofing process.
Our natural smooth calfskin products are made with high quality Italian leathers. It is "full grain" leather, whose original surface has been preserved and embellished.
This leather is lightly covered on the surface to let all its natural beauty show through. Any small marks are all signs of authenticity. Contact with water/rain may cause fine bubbles to appear which will fade over time. To enjoy your bag for as long as possible, we suggest you to waterproof it once a year (you do not have to do this upon receipt) and condition it with a colorless leather milk cream that you will find at your cobbler. It is always advised to have your products treated by leather professionals in order to prevent problems related to maintenance.
Ribbed suede is a nubuck-like leather.
To preserve your bag for as long as possible, we suggest waterproofing it regularly and avoiding carrying it in the rain. Our ribbed suede is carefully treated for leather goods to prevent color transfer. However, dark or vivid nubuck colors can rub off on a very light garment (even more so when the garment is new). Conversely, a dark fabric like jeans may rub off on light nubuck. It is always advised to have your products treated by leather specialists.
Use a soft, clean cloth to dust your leather. Grained leather is a durable leather, so it does not scratch easily. If this is the case, get colorless wax or a special leather milk that you will find at your shoemaker. Dab a hazelnut on a clean textile and rub the leather with small circular movements. Let dry 2h to 8h. Shield your bag from any prolonged exposure to light, intense heat or humidity and when you are not wearing it, keep it in its dustbag. Our leathers have all been pre-treated so there is no need to waterproof it right after your purchase, wait 3 months of regular use to start a waterproofing process.
