The City Flap Bag

DESTAAL leather goods are crafted from the finest skins selected for their quality and character. Each hide is unique; subtle tonal variations, veins, and small markings are natural features of the material and should not be considered imperfections.

To ensure your bag ages beautifully, protect it from humidity and avoid contact with water, hand cream, hand sanitizer, make-up, perfume, and other liquids. Box calfskin in particular should be kept away from rain, as exposure to water may cause the surface to blister. If the leather comes into contact with water, gently dab it immediately with a soft, dry, light-colored cloth and allow it to dry naturally, away from direct heat sources. Do not rub and do not use a hairdryer or heater.

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and keep the bag away from radiators or other sources of heat. Take care not to rub it against coarse or abrasive surfaces. Light surface scratches may soften if gently massaged with a clean, dry cloth. Over time, box calfskin develops a subtle patina; as the leather wears in, minor scratches tend to blend into the surface, becoming less visible and contributing to the character of the piece.

When not in use, store your bag in its dust bag in a cool, dry, well-ventilated environment. Avoid excessive heat, humidity, or storage in plastic. With proper care, the leather will age gracefully and become uniquely yours.
