Question 1

How do I look after the leather?

Accepted Answer

Wipe dust off with a dry cloth. If it gets wet, blot it and let it dry away from radiators and direct sun, which is what cracks leather. A neutral colourless balm two or three times a year is all the feeding it needs; test it on the base first and expect it to look slightly darker for a day. Light scratches rub out under a finger.

Question 2

Will it get darker over time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and unevenly, which is the point. Full-grain leather darkens where it is handled and where light reaches it, so the handles and the front panel move first. It is not a defect and it is not covered by the guarantee, because it is the material doing what it was chosen to do.

Question 3

Can I carry a fountain pen in it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The lining is suede, so nibs are not resting against bare leather. Cap down if the pen has a cap, nib up if it does not, so ink stays where it belongs on a plane.

Question 4

What leather do you use?

Accepted Answer

Each product page states the material in the Details section, as documented by the supplier of that product. Where a product uses canvas, silicone or nylon, the page says so.

Question 5

How do I care for the leather?

Accepted Answer

Wipe with a dry cloth. Condition twice a year with a neutral leather balm. Keep away from radiators and direct sun. The journal has a full care guide.

Question 6

Will the colour change over time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The leather darkens with handling and light over the first months, and develops a slight sheen where the hands touch. That is full-grain doing what it does, and it is why two bags bought a year apart never look identical.

Question 7

Do the bags come with a dust bag?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every bag, briefcase and case ships in a cotton dust bag inside a box.

Question 8

Can I get the product in another colour?

Accepted Answer

Three models come in two leathers, Havane and Arabica: the two garment duffels and the toiletry bag. Everything else is made in a single finish, so there is no colour to choose on those pages.
