How do I care for my product?

Do not use any chemical or cleaning agent.

We recommend: Blockout Solution products (https://www.blockout.co.za/), also available on Takealot.

Why does my bag have small scratches / scars? 
Scratches and scars are nature's beauty and signature. These markings occur naturally during the life of the animal; they differentiate authentic leather from mechanically-enhanced leather. Leather is a natural product and will vary slightly in the final colour, texture and density.
