HOW DO I PROPERLY CLEAN AND CARE FOR MY »BEN« LEATHER WASH BAG, COGNAC-BROWN?

We believe that you can see how intensively a retro-look toiletry bag has been used. That's how it has to be. If you still feel the need to clean your bags, we recommend three steps:

• Remove dust and dirt particles from pockets, eg with a brush or hand-held vacuum cleaner
• Gently dab and rub away stains with a clean, wet cloth. Consider trying a mild detergent if the stains are stubborn.
• Slightly grease leather from time to time (e.g. leather care with beeswax or carnauba wax). It is best to test on an inconspicuous area first.

WHAT KIND OF LEATHER WAS THE »BEN«, COGNAC-BROWN TOILETRY BAG MADE OF?

We only use vegetable-tanned buffalo leather for our leather men's wash bags. The particularly robust leather comes from India. During production, our leather is also finished by hand with a colored carnauba-based wax, giving it its special vintage patina.

WHERE AND HOW WAS THE LEATHER WASH BAG "BEN", COGNAC-BROWN MADE?

Our goods are made in India. Our manufactory is a small family business whose long-standing employees manufacture our bags with a lot of heart and passion. In the meantime, a real friendship has grown from our long cooperation. The production conditions are socially acceptable and correspond to BSCI standards. We convince ourselves of this on a regular basis. Our leather and cotton fabrics are sourced directly locally from India. When dyeing our cotton fabrics, only dyes that are free of AZO dyes are used. Our leathers are basically vegetable tanned, i.e. plant-based and without the use of aggressive tanning agents. Our standards are socially and ecologically justifiable and above average.
