We recommend always applying a waterproofing spray before use, and respraying your bag at least every four weeks. Choose a spray that is suitable for leather and suede.
Clean the bag using leather cleaning wipes when necessary, and let dry naturally.
After the first six months, and twice yearly after that, a leather conditioner can be applied and rubbed in with a soft, colourfast cloth. (Be sure to test on an inconspicuous place first).

Customer Reviews
I bought the tote for my daughter who has a 2 year old, so needs to carry lots of bits and pieces. The Napa tote gave her plenty of room without sacrificing elegance.
Purchased this bag, was everything we expected and made the perfect gift, the service was outstanding, big thanks
I purchased my bespoke tote in early 2022 so nearly 3 years later this workhorse is still going strong. My tote has been through a lot going from being a work bag to nappy bag to gym bag, full circle back to everyday work and weekend bag. This bag has held up extremely well even with such a hard life on my shoulder, being chucked around and just generally being neglected with upkeep and care - the leather is still as buttery soft and supple as ever. Cannot fault the bag or the Charlie Middleton team for their customer service.
I bought this bag for my daughter starting her first job as a paralegal. She loves it. Perfect size and looks professional and a good match for her clothing. I look forward to purchasing more bags from this maker. Best thing is it is an Australian brand.
Big supporting of buying Aussie made. The experience from purchase to delivery has been exceptional. My custom-made bag in love with it!
