USA Horween tea core cowhide leather messenger bag, handmade.

**Handmade** Each piece has post-processing marks and unique characteristics of natural leather. Hardware may have natural oxidation & subtle impact marks. Leather may have minor scratches & reasonable surface imperfections. Each piece possesses unique differences and individual character. To preserve your bag, avoid placing it with hard objects and keep it away from moisture. With proper care, the marks and color changes that develop over time will gradually enhance its aged texture and unique personal style. **About the Leather** Horween of Chicago has long been renowned for its high-quality leather. For over 100 years, it has been a nationally recognized tannery. Through 5 generations, they have consistently adhered to traditional handcrafted methods. Today, Horween leather is a primary material for high-end footwear, bags, wallets, and belts from brands like Prada and Alden. **Regarding HORWEEN Leather Scratches** As this leather is a type of oil-wax leather with a high oil and wax content, it is prone to scratches during production and use. Because our products are purely handmade, even with extreme care during production, the special nature of this leather means that even a light fingernail scratch can leave a mark. However, it has excellent restorative properties, and scratches will gradually mend over time with use. If you are sensitive to this scratching process, you can apply the provided maintenance oil for repair. After application, the scratches will gradually disappear, and the bag's aged aesthetic will be a testament to time! **Regarding Bag Wrinkles** Our bags are 100% handmade in the studio. We strive to minimize production marks during the crafting process. However, due to the leather's unique properties and construction techniques (internal stitching), some wrinkles are unavoidable during the manual turning process after internal stitching. Fortunately, the leather's strong restorative capabilities mean these wrinkles will gradually fade with use. **Pre-purchase Notice** / Leather goods may experience varying degrees of compression during shipping due to specific stress points.
