Environmental Considerations

Why This Matters

Many of our bags feature natural materials such as leather, woven fibers, or seeds that can be sensitive to weather conditions. By taking the right precautions, you’ll extend the lifespan of your bag while maintaining its unique charm.

What You’ll Need

  • Weatherproofing spray (suitable for leather and fabric)

  • Soft cloth

  • Leather conditioner (if needed)

  • Natural beeswax (for leather)

  • Storage bags (for rainy conditions)

  • Ventilated storage space

How to Do It

Step 1

Apply weatherproofing spray to leather, fabric, and woven sections of the bag. Test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Step 2

If your bag gets wet, gently blot with a soft cloth. Never rub, as this could cause damage.

Step 3

For leather, apply a thin layer of natural beeswax or leather conditioner after exposure to rain or humidity.

Stem 4

During extreme weather conditions (like heavy rain), store your bag in a ventilated, dry place or a storage bag.

Step 5

Avoid placing your bag on damp surfaces for long periods.
