Care instructions
Always test an offcut or sample prior to working the leather with tools, adhesives or heat. To ensure the leather print on your product is as durable as possible, we’ve worked hard refining our printing process and craftsmanship. As leather is a natural material you may notice small differences in surface and texture, as well as wrinkles, which is common to products made from natural leather. All leathers age naturally according to the usage, and this can cause the print to wrinkle or fade slightly over time. It is possible the base colour may show through the leather as it ages with wear. When not in use we recommend storing your product in a protective dust bag or box to keep your product looking its best. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat, sunlight, water, and chemical cleaners to maintain a bright and long-lasting print. Avoid contact with light coloured fabrics or upholstery as the colour may transfer. Whilst a light rain shower is unlikely to harm, we recommend protecting from rain. Should your product get wet, allow to dry naturally away from direct heat. To clean surface wipe only with a damp lint free cotton cloth.
Strap Choice
You have two choices for the type of strap on your handmade leather bucket bag. You can opt for a leather grab strap, which is 32cm long and 2.2cm wide. This strap is ideal for carrying your custom bucket bag in your hand or over your forearm. We make the grab strap from the same smooth Nappa leather that the rest of the bag's detailings are made from so that everything coordinates.
Alternatively, you can opt for a black webbing shoulder strap. The shoulder strap is fully adjustable, from 94cm long to 147cm long. At 3.2cm wide, it's sturdy and will sit comfortably on your shoulder. We attach the webbing strap using the smooth black Nappa leather tabs.
Both straps are fastened to the bag with clips, so you can detach them. The clips will be either gunmetal, nickel, or gold depending on which hardware colour you select. We use the highest quality hardware with a polished finish to add an extra element of luxury to your personalised bucket bag.
