Can't believe it's not leather? Its true! Durable Scratch-Proof Coated Material Engineered with a durable & scratch resistant material: our bags can stand up to almost anything! Our coated canvas is not leather. It is made from material that is embossed with textured metal plates to take on a leather-like appearance. Our coating won't peel or flake off like other faux leather, PU (polyurethane) or vinyl bags, and our bags are made in USA. Waterproof and Machine-Washable Our coated canvas bags are reliable in rainy weather! Enclose your bag inside a zippered mesh laundry bag, or use an old pillowcase and close with safety pins. Add a tablespoon of laundry detergent, and a cup of vinegar to the washer. Wash in cold water on gentle cycle. Then hang dry, do not put in the dryer. Lead-Free, Pthalate-Free and Made in USA Our proprietary design process is integral to creating our high-quality designer handbags, as it will allow your bag to last much longer than faux leather or polyurethane and is ecologically preferable. We make our bags start to finish in our Seattle workshop.
