Q: How should I care for a vintage canvas and leather tote like this?
A: We recommend gentle care only. Wipe the canvas with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, and avoid soaking the leather trim or using harsh cleaners. Store the bag stuffed with tissue and kept in a dry, well-ventilated place to help maintain its shape. As this bag already shows some fraying on the trim, extra care around corners and edges is advisable.
