<Before Use>

At the time of purchase, apply a commercially available waterproof spray to the entire bag and let it dry.

Applying waterproof spray makes the material resistant not only to moisture but also to dirt.

We recommend testing it on an inconspicuous area first.

We also sell waterproof spray as a leather care product in our official online shop.

<During Use>

If the surface of the material gets wet from rain or other moisture, gently wipe it with a soft cloth.

If left wet, dust on the bag's surface may soak into the material along with the moisture, potentially causing color unevenness.

After use, invisible dirt and dust will have adhered to the bag. Gently wiping the surface with a soft towel is a secret to making your product last longer.

If moisture gets on the bag while dirt and dust are present, impurities will soak into the material, causing color unevenness.

<After Use>

Place items like balled-up newspaper inside the bag to prevent it from losing its shape and to remove moisture trapped in the leather.

Dehumidifying with silica gel or similar desiccants is also effective.

Bags also get "tired" after use. If stored in an irregular shape while containing atmospheric moisture, they often develop permanent creases in that shape.

Because it is quite difficult to restore a bag once it has developed such creases, we recommend storing your bag in a way that keeps it smooth and wrinkle-free.

Balled-up newspaper that fills the capacity of your bag acts as an excellent helper for "moisture absorption" and "shape retention."

<Storage>

Please store in a well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight.

Also, when storing, ensure it does not come into contact with other materials. Depending on the material, this may lead to color transfer to the leather or discoloration.

When the effect of the waterproof spray begins to fade, wipe the dust off the surface again and reapply the spray.
