How do I care for this genuine leather messenger bag?

This genuine leather messenger bag is made from real cowhide leather which is naturally durable and low maintenance with the right care. To keep it looking its best, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight which can fade the leather over time. Keep it away from excessive moisture and if it gets wet, gently pat dry with a soft cloth and allow to dry naturally away from direct heat sources. When not in use, store it in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight - stuffing it lightly with tissue paper helps the bag maintain its shape. Apply a good quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the cowhide leather supple, nourished and looking its best. With a little care this genuine leather messenger bag will last for many years and continue to develop a rich, individual patina that makes it more characterful and beautiful over time.

How do I clean a genuine leather messenger bag?

To clean this genuine leather messenger bag, gently wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove everyday dirt and marks. For more stubborn marks, use a small amount of specialist leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth in gentle circular motions. Always test any cleaning product on a small, inconspicuous area first before applying to the full bag. Avoid using household cleaning products, baby wipes or anything containing alcohol or harsh chemicals as these can strip the natural oils from the cowhide leather and damage the finish. After cleaning, allow the bag to dry naturally and apply a leather conditioner to restore moisture and maintain the beautiful cognac tan finish. A well cared for genuine leather messenger bag will reward your husband with years of stylish, everyday use.
