If you can't find the answer there, feel free to contact us.

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).

Absolutely Gorgeous!

I’m never a bag person and I was looking for that perfect bag that fits it all, pairs with any of my outfits and will last long. I was tempted to buy another brand before I discovered CM. Good thing I waited until I found yours. It’s the most extravagant bag I ever purchased. I was still quite hesitant because it’s out of my budget. But when I read your 5-star reviews, I was sold. I’m never into big brands. I want superb quality but still in style and in the colour brown. I am very excited to receive it and when I did, I am so happy how thoughtful the packaging was but the bag itself, it’s perfect! Plus, it’s packed in a reusable canvas tote bag.

Absolutely amazing bag. I have never loved a bag so much in my life! Wonderful quality leather and hardwear. The rose colour hardwear looks beautiful with the leather. Before I purchased this bag, I was trying to decide betwwen the mini and the next size up but the mini is perfect, not mini at all. It is so comfortable to carry on your shoulder and has ample room inside. The side pocket is perfect for a mobile phone. You will not regret buying this bag, it is stunning! I also purchased a coin purse, which is lovely too.

Leather will age well over time

I've bought more than a few Charlie bags. This one does not disappoint. Really lovely leather - I know it will age well too. Well made with great customer service as well. I also love that Charlie bags are locally made.
