We believe your bag should stand the test of time. Great leather and waxed canvas materials last for years and look better with age and wear. Each stain or scratch will make your bag uniquely yours. However, we do recommend periodical cleaning:
Leather: For our leather, we recommend using a leather cleaner and leather conditioner. First, spray a light amount of the leather cleaner on a clean, soft rag. Gently rub the leather in a circular motion and let dry. Once dry, apply a small amount of the leather conditioner to a soft clean rag and gently rub the leather in a circular motion and let dry. There is a small risk that the colored leather might leave small stains when wet.
Waxed Canvas: The canvas will develop a patina over time; use will bring out unique character and special qualities in the fabric that no other material could offer. Waxed canvas has been used for many years without any washing or cleaning. But if you feel you must clean your bag there’s a right and wrong way to do it. Most important is not to overdo it. Lightly brush off soiled area with a brush. Start with plain water for cleaning. Run room temperature water over the area, gently use a scrub brush, rinse, and let it dry. Less is more. No stain is ever guaranteed to come out with any cleaning method.
