Rugged Hide products, are classically designed and authentically styled. The vintage look leather has been handcrafted by artisans, using a variety of finishing techniques, each giving the leather a unique, long-lasting and beautiful finish.

For this reason, any imperfections, creases, colour shades and irregularities, or non-uniformity in the leather and colour are to be regarded as features of quality and authenticity, not defects. With age, the leather may change, as with all natural products.

To keep your bag looking its best, we recommend the use of a high-quality, leather polishing or cleaning products. Spot-check the product to ensure the colour and finish does not rub off. There are a variety of products on the market, and we have not tested them all. We are unable to recommend a particular brand.
Gently use a Microfibre cloth, to wipe dirt and dust off the leather.

Avoid excessive and vigorous rubbing.

Avoid exposure to heat and direct light – especially the harsh Australian sunlight – that may fade the shade of colour.

Leather is permeable, grease and oils will leave a stain, so avoid contact with make-up, grease and liquid (including rain).
