    Caring for Your Canvas Messenger Bag

    Want to keep your bag looking and performing great? Follow these simple care tips: 

    • Clean the Canvas: Wipe with a damp cloth to remove dust. For stains, use mild soap and a soft brush. Air dry in the shade.
    • Maintain the Wax Finish: Reapply wax periodically to keep the canvas water-resistant. Gently warm the fabric to help the wax absorb evenly.
    • Care for the Leather: Clean leather parts with a damp cloth and a small amount of leather cleaner. Use conditioner to prevent drying or cracking.
    • Store Properly: Keep your bag in a cool, dry place when not in use. Use a dust bag if available, and avoid folding or crushing it.
    • Don’t Overload: These bags are tough, but carrying excessive weight can shorten their lifespan.
