Interior lined with cotton. Leather Care: Moisturize With time and handling, leather can lose moisture and oils, leading to dryness, flaking, and wrinkling. To keep the leather supple, it should be moisturized regularly. We recommend using a quality leather balsam containing a blend of natural waxes and oils such as beeswax, jojoba oil, and avocado oil. Dip an application sponge or a soft cloth into the balsam and rub it gently over the bag. If the leather doesn’t absorb it all, wipe off the excess with a clean cloth. This should be done once every month or two. Time Resistance bags come pre-treated with a healthy coating of balsam, so you can start using them right away. Avoid Water Water can be detrimental to leather by robbing it of natural oils and causing discoloration and wrinkles. If you’ve been diligent with moisturizing and have chosen a balsam that contains beeswax, it will act as a barrier against moderate amounts of water. However, avoid exposing your bag to heavy rain. If your bag does get soaking wet, do not force-dry it with heat. Wipe it with a dry cloth and let it dry slowly at room temperature, ensuring it maintains its shape during the drying process. Extra Tips: Cover Up: Store your bag in the original dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Stuff it to maintain shape, but avoid using newspapers as they can smear. Air it every few weeks to prevent mold. No Alcohol: Avoid products containing alcohol or acetone as they can damage the leather. Stretch Marks: Do not overstuff your bag as leather stretches out but does not revert back. Humidity can accelerate this process. Smells: If your bag absorbs odors, place an open container of baking soda inside and leave it overnight to absorb the smells. Watch in awe as your bag grows more beautiful with age, becoming a true reflection of your journey.
