As leather is a natural material, slight differences in surface and texture, as well as creases, may appear: this is common for a natural leather product. All leathers develop a patina with use, which may cause slight creasing or fading of the print over time, and the base color may show through as the leather ages. When not in use, store your bag in a protective sleeve or box to keep it in the best condition. Avoid prolonged exposure to high heat, sunlight, water, and chemical cleaners to preserve the vibrancy and longevity of the print. Avoid contact with light-colored fabrics or surfaces, as the color may rub off. A light shower should not damage it, but we recommend protecting it from rain. If it gets wet, let it dry naturally, away from any direct heat source. To clean, wipe the surface only with a soft, damp, lint-free cotton cloth.
