Waxed Canvas
More robust to withstand elements like rain & snow, our wax canvas is water resistant and goes through a wax treatment process.  It is NOT waterproof; if submerged in water, it will pass through the material. Material is resistant to heat but avoid extreme temperatures for extended periods of time due to the application of wax.

Care Instructions
Canvas can be spot cleaned with cold water or a mild soap (not detergent) for tough stains. Do not machine wash. Be sure to test your soap or any cleaner in a small area of your bag as it could change the bag's color slightly. When spot cleaning let bag dry in the shade, not full sun.  Do not use bleach.

Learn how to condition your canvas bag.

As your waxed canvas product is used wax can slowly wear off your product. 

If you want to keep your product water resistant, we recommend waxing your product once every few years. This will help your product a great deal, but remember it’s not exactly the same treatment or durability as the initial wax application the material got at the beginning.

You don’t want to re-wax your bag too much as it can cause a build-up and can easily stain other things that come in contact with your bag.

Full Grain Leather
Our Full Grain leather is the most durable of all our materials and built to withstand the elements as well as daily use.  Leather Goods can seem overly structured and rough at first, but have patience young grasshopper, it will soften as you use it beautifully. 

Care Instructions
Leather should be stored in a dust bag away from moisture and extreme temperatures. Dry climates or direct heat can dry out the leather causing it to become brittle, condition accordingly.  To condition your leather we like Chamberlains Leather Milk No.1 which comes with a cotton terry applicator. Test any conditioner in a small area on your bag and let air dry. Conditioners or treatments can darken the color of the leather depending on the type and amount used.  You should condition your bag every 8 - 12 weeks depending on your climate and the bag's exposure to heat and direct sunlight.

*Please Note: Dark ink and dyes in some clothing can stain or transfer to the material of your bag; so like a new pair of jeans, give your new bag some time to break in before wearing it next to your new pair of white jeans. - or vice versa.


Eco Vegan (Man-made material)
Vegan goods are made specifically with our exclusive abrasion resistant man-made material without lead or phthalates.  As with most man-made things, nothing lasts forever, over time, you may notice slight peeling or chipping in the most used areas - so keep it away from young children and puppies.  

Care Instructions
Easily wipes clean with a damp cloth.  To remove stains from the exterior, you can also use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, however test first on a small less-visible area of your bag as it may change the bag’s color.  

*Please Note: Dark ink and dyes in some clothing can stain or transfer to the material of your bag; so like a new pair of jeans, give your new bag some time to break in before wearing it next to your new pair of white jeans. - or vice versa.


Cotton Canvas Items
Our Cotton canvas is a robust material built to withstand daily use and lightweight for easy all-day carry.
