**► A Note on Italian Full Grain Leather**

This bag is handmade from thick, vegetable-tanned Italian full grain cowhide, prized for its durability, supple hand-feel, and subtle tonal variation. Because it's cut from genuine hide, you may notice natural marks such as faint scarring, creases, or grain lines across the surface — these are authentic characteristics of real leather, not flaws. The solid brass hardware will also develop a natural oxidized patina with time and handling, which only adds to the bag's vintage character. The traditional vegetable-tanning process results in leather that ages beautifully, deepening in tone and developing a unique patina the longer it's used.

**► Styling Tips**

Wear it crossbody for hands-free days, or drop it to one shoulder for an easy, everyday carry. Its rugged, retro-inspired silhouette pairs naturally with denim, workwear, and casual layers, for men and women alike.

**► Care Instructions**

-   Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth
-   Condition occasionally with a leather-specific conditioner
-   Avoid prolonged exposure to water and direct sunlight
-   Natural marks, grain variation, and hardware oxidation are characteristic of genuine leather and solid brass, not defects
-   Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light when not in use
