Styling & UseUpdated a month ago

Can I wear my leather bag in the rain?

While our leather has natural water resistance, we don't recommend prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Light moisture won't harm the leather, but if your bag gets wet, let it air dry naturally away from heat sources. Consider our waterproof spray for additional protection.

How do I prevent my bag from losing its shape?

Store your bag properly when not in use - stuff it with tissue paper or a pillow to maintain shape. Avoid overloading it beyond its intended capacity, and rotate between bags if you have multiple pieces to prevent excessive wear on one item.

What's the best way to break in a new leather bag?

Use it regularly! The more you carry your bag, the faster it will soften and conform to your needs. Avoid forcing it or overstuffing initially. The natural oils from handling will help the leather develop its beautiful patina.

Can I travel with my Parker Clay bag?

Absolutely! Our bags are perfect travel companions. The durable construction stands up to travel wear, and leather is naturally antimicrobial. Just remember to follow airline regulations for carry-on sizes and pack liquids separately to avoid spills.
