The rustic buffalo leather should be regularly cleaned of dust and dirt with a soft, slightly damp cotton cloth. Because it is an open-pored leather, it is indeed more susceptible to moisture and stains, as liquids can be absorbed directly. To protect the bag, regular impregnation with a suitable leather protection spray or a special conditioner for open-pored smooth leather is recommended. This conditioner should replenish the leather's natural oils and maintain its suppleness. Keep in mind that care products can permanently darken open-pored leather.
