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 slightly cause the print to crease or fade over time, and the base color may show through as the leather ages. When not in use, store your bag in a protective cover or box to best preserve it. Avoid prolonged exposure to high heat, sunlight, water, and chemical cleaners to maintain the vibrancy and longevity of the print. Avoid contact with light-colored fabrics or surfaces, as the color may transfer. A light rain shower should not damage it, but we recommend protecting it from the rain. If it gets wet, let it dry naturally, away from any direct heat source. To clean it, wipe the surface only with a soft, damp, lint-free cotton cloth.
