Caring for full-grain leather
Three habits that keep a bag looking better every year.
Full-grain leather keeps the strongest part of the hide. Treated well, it darkens and softens into something personal.
Keep it dry
Wipe off rain with a soft cloth and let the bag dry at room temperature, away from heaters.
Condition twice a year
A thin layer of neutral conditioner keeps the leather supple. Test on a hidden spot first.
Store it stuffed
Fill the bag with tissue and keep it in its dust bag so it holds its shape.
