1,Cowhide bags are easily contaminated by dust and dirt. You can use a soft brush or eraser to gently wipe the surface of the leather.

4,If you accidentally get it wet or rained, wipe it gently with a soft towel and let it dry naturally. It is not recommended to use any solvents or chemicals to clean it at home.

5,Do not use mink oil, saddle soap, leather lotion and other substances that will deepen the color of the leather.

6,Place the cowhide bag/shoe in a dry, ventilated, and light-proof place, and avoid friction and squeezing with other objects.
