Material & Care
Oxford Canvas: Naturally durable and water-resistant; brush gently with a soft cloth to remove dust. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth.
Leather Trims: Age gracefully over time, developing a rich patina. Condition periodically with leather care products to maintain suppleness and depth. This is intentional—true gothic beauty embraces the passage of time.
Hardware: Metal components may develop natural oxidation, adding to the vintage aesthetic. Polish gently if preferred.
