How to Care for Your AALLYN Bag

Every AALLYN bag is handcrafted with love in our family-owned factory. From hand-stitching to hand-painted edges, each piece is made with care by skilled artisans. Our bags are made with cowhide leather, which we treat with a custom polymer coating that enhances the color and provides a protective layer for durability. In addition to added durability, our coating provides a beautiful sheen so your bag can look newer for longer.

Follow these care tips to help your AALLYN bag stay beautiful and last for years:

• Keep away from direct heat and prolonged sunlight
  Sun exposure and high heat can cause leather prematurely to dry out, fade, or crack over time. Store your bag in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  

• Avoid water
  If your bag gets wet, gently pat it dry with paper towels and allow it to air dry at room temperature. Do not apply heat or use a hair dryer.
  

• Keep away from cosmetics, perfume, and lotions
  These products can transfer color or oils onto leather.
  

• Wipe away dirt with a clean, soft cloth
  For small spots, a light wipe is usually all you need. Avoid harsh cleaners or alcohol-based products.
  

• Condition as needed
  Moisturize the leather with a cream-based conditioner every few months, or whenever the leather looks like it needs a refresh. Apply a small amount using a soft cloth and buff gently.

Use these storage tips to maintain your bag’s structure and beauty:

• Store your bag upright
  To help your bag keep its shape and structure, store your bag upright and give it enough room to rest without being pressed against other items.
  

• Let your strap relax
  To keep your strap looking its best, let it relax in a neutral position when you store your bag. This allows the strap to rest naturally when your bag is not in use and helps it age well.
  

• Store your bag inside its dust bag
  Use your dust bag to protect from dust and accidental marks.
