How to Choose the Right Bag
If you're overwhelmed with options, here are a few quick tips:
1. Match the Bag to Your Lifestyle
● Everyday errands? Go for a hobo or shopper tote.

Caring for Your Leather Bag
To make your leather bags last decades, keep these simple habits:
● Store them in a cool, dry place inside their dust bags.
● Use a leather conditioner once every few months.
● Avoid overstuffing or exposing them to harsh sunlight or moisture.
● Rotate usage to let each bag rest and retain its shape.
