Full grain or synthetic
| Material | Over time | Against water |
|---|---|---|
| Full grain leather | Gains a patina, can be repaired | Dislikes prolonged damp |
| Synthetic leather | Keeps its look, cannot be repaired | Handles rain better |
The product page always states which one it is. Synthetic is not a second choice: for daily city use in the rain, it ages better.
Care, in three habits
- A dry cloth after every damp outing.
- Nourishing cream twice a year on full grain leather, sponge and mild soap on everything else.
- Never dry it near a radiator, which shrinks leather and marks the corners for good. Never use anything alcohol based, which dissolves the finish.
Before you buy
Prices include tax and the product page is what counts. We ship worldwide and you have 30 days from delivery to return an item, with return postage at your expense. An honest warning: a bag with no known label has no resale value, however well it is built. Buy it for use, never as an investment.
