Q: How should I care for Glace calf leather?
A: Calf leather should be handled with care to help preserve its finish. Gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth, avoid overfilling the bag, and keep it away from prolonged heat, damp, and direct sunlight. When not in use, store it in a breathable dust bag or another well-ventilated place, ideally lightly stuffed to help maintain its shape.

Q: Is Glace calf leather a practical material for a tote bag?
A: Yes. Glace calf leather has a smooth, refined appearance that gives the bag a polished look while still offering the structure and durability expected from a quality leather tote. As with most smooth leathers, it can show marks and signs of wear over time, which is normal for a pre-owned piece.
