Leather is a living material — it ages, it evolves, it remembers. With a little care, your DONA Made bag can stay beautiful for decades.

1. Clean Gently Wipe the leather regularly with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid harsh soaps or soaking it with water.

2. Condition Occasionally Every few months, use a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking. Apply a small amount with a clean cloth and let it absorb naturally.

3. Store Smart When not in use, store your bag in a cool, dry place inside a dust bag. Keep it stuffed with paper to help maintain its shape.

4. Avoid Overloading Even though our bags are sturdy, avoid stretching or overpacking them — this keeps the leather from warping and the straps from wearing down.

5. Handle with Clean Hands Natural oils and dirt from your skin can affect the leather over time. Clean hands help preserve its surface.

Cared for well, a leather bag only gets better with age — developing a rich patina that tells your story as much as ours.
