► A Note on Full Grain Leather

Full grain leather keeps the natural surface of the hide, so it is stronger and more breathable than corrected leather. Natural wrinkles, small marks, growth lines, and slight shade differences are signs of genuine leather and make every bag one of a kind. Because each bag is handmade, small variations in stitching or measurement are normal. Colors may also vary slightly between screens.

► Styling Tips

Choose Black for a sharp business look, Dark Coffee for a warm, classic vintage feel, or Indigo Blue for a distinctive, modern touch. It pairs well with tailored trousers, knitwear, checked shirts, and denim, and it works just as well for campus days as for travel days.

► Care Instructions

• Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
• Keep away from water, heat, and direct sunlight for long periods.
• If it gets wet, blot dry and let it air dry naturally.
• Apply a good leather conditioner now and then to keep the leather supple.
• Store in a dust bag in a cool, dry place when not in use.
