Cowhide Leather
Our genuine cowhide features hair-on-hide leather, showcasing the natural markings, patterns, and character of each hide. No two bags are ever alike, making every backpack truly one of a kind. Over time, the hair may naturally wear in areas of frequent contact, adding to its well-loved character without affecting the strength, durability, or longevity of the leather beneath.

Mocha Tuscan Leather
A full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather crafted from Tuscan shoulder hides using traditional tanning methods. Soft with a natural grain, it develops a rich burnished patina that deepens in color and character with time and use.

English Bridle Strap Leather
Vegetable-tanned in one of America's oldest tanneries, our English Bridle leather becomes softer and richer with use, developing a warm patina and distinctive character over time.

You have chosen to purchase this bag which is made out of natural leather or wax canvas that will wear in and not out.

TAKING CARE OF YOUR LEATHER
Real, natural leather will take on a unique character over time, slowly developing a patina, and taking on the life of the user. If you get an undesired scratch on your leather, rub it out with the heat of your hand to shift the oils and cover the scratch. If you would like to condition your leather, we recommend using Tad Coffin leather conditioner sold on our website.

WANT TO FRESHEN UP YOUR WAX CANVAS BAG?
Scratches in wax canvas can be removed/smoothed out by using the heat of a blow dryer (approx 6” away). The heat brings the waxes to the surface, evening out the color and refreshing the look of your bag.

CLEANING WAX CANVAS & LEATHER
Less is more when it comes to cleaning your leather bag or canvas bag. Simply blot the undesired spot immediately with a dry white cloth to absorb the moisture. Avoid rubbing. If needed, mix mild dish soap with water (3:1 ratio) to blot the area. Keep in mind, the stain will look its worst on the day of the incident, but over time, the stain will disperse through the protein fibers and become part of the beautiful worn in look.

PLEASE NOTE: We are not responsible for color transfer onto your wax or leather bag (including any color that might rub off from your jeans, clothing or any fabric). Please, be careful!
