These cotton backpacks with leather bottoms mustn’t be washed by hand nor by washing machine!

Do not scrub the canvas or leather with a brush, otherwise the color can scratch off like with jeans.

Dry cleaning is the best solution for washing these items.

It is ideal to use an animal hair cleaning glove for cleaning because it combs the cotton and removes surface impurities. You can also use a textile cleaning roller but it is not as effective.

If the backpack is dirty on the inside, turn it inside out and clean the lining with a brush or cloth dipped in a washing detergent solution.
You can then rinse the entire lining with water, as it has a waterproof layer on it and the water does not reach the leather.

If the backpack becomes dirty to the point that it is unbearable, rinse it quickly under running lukewarm water.
Wash it while holding the leather bottom up and dry it upside down.

You can clean the leather parts with common leather products.
Be aware, if the leather is damp or wet, it can leave colored stains on clothes.
This is because it is not fixed by any chemicals, leaving its natural appearance. Over time the leather will gain a natural polish.

For owners of the PURISTA BLACK model, this type of backpack can only be cleaned chemically.
If you soak the leather with water, there is a risk of colour bleeding from the black leather to the light cream canvas.

We suggest spraying and impregnating this product to make it water and dirt resistant before you use it for the first time.

X-Pac® is a unique 100% waterproof fabric, which was originally created as an innovative material for sailboat sails.
Sails designed for yacht racing are made to withstand extreme tension, extreme coastal weather, humidity and salt. That’s why X-Pac® is so durable.
In general, it is a composite fabric laminated from several layers: an upper nylon fabric (210D), an X-PLY grid made of polyester, a waterproof coating and a lower polyester fabric with a waterproof layer. The grid also determines the structure of the fabric, that’s why it has a visible diamond pattern on the surface.
X-Pac® is also super light (it’s the lightest fabric we work with) and very flexible. In our workshop we work with types WX21 and LS21.
