Caring for Your Sash Bag

To protect your Sash from stains and moisture, we recommend treating it with a protective product, especially if your lifestyle or climate calls for it. While it’s not required (many of us never treat ours), we suggest it as "wear and tear" isn't covered by our warranty. Plus, it keeps your Sash looking its best!

Different climates and usage vary, so decide what makes sense for you.

A few tips:

  • Exposure to sunlight can cause fading, especially on brighter colors.
  • Be cautious when wearing untreated, light-colored bags over dark clothing, as rubbing may cause discoloration.

If you decide to treat your Sash:

  • We recommend Leather Honey Leather Conditioner to keep leather soft and supple. For color touch-ups, mix with cream shoe polish. To darken genuine leather, try mineral oil. Always test on the underside of your strap first. Condition every 3 months for best results.

Cleaning Notes:

  • Leather: Use a soft cloth and a cleaner made for dyed leather. Always test on the underside of the strap first.
  • Faux Leather: Spot clean with cold water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive materials. Leather Honey Cleaner works well. Test before use.
  • Cloth: Spot clean with cold water and mild soap. Occasionally treat with fabric protector. Some cloth bags may be machine washed (at your own risk). Do not machine dry or dry clean.
