Care Instructions
Our bags cannot be washed or dry-cleaned, but may be sponged gently with a soap-free damp cloth. Always allow to dry thoroughly after use, in a cool, airy environment. Please don’t dry on a radiator; the leather will not thank you. Reproofing wax cotton bags will maintain the waterproof qualities and extend your bag’s life.
