Material

Main: Cow Leather, Lining: 65% Recycled Cotton 35% Recycled Polyester, Strap: Cow Leather, Hardware: Zinc

Leather is a natural animal material. Leather products offer durability and longevity, as they are not only made to last but soften and gain character with age. The leather for this style was sourced from a tannery that has received a Gold rating from the Leather Working Group (LWG). This is the highest rating from LWG and demonstrates the tannery's performance in responsible leather manufacturing across multiple indicators including water & electricity use, waste & chemical management and traceability.

Care Instructions

To maintain the beauty of your ELK bag we recommend protective sprays and using a good quality leather conditioner to treat the product, which will increase its longevity. Do not put leather pieces on the ground or rub against abrasive surfaces. Leather is a natural material and will wear with age and use. The dye in the leather can sometimes rub off so please be aware of this when wearing light clothing or placing the leather item on light surfaces.
