Q: How should I care for vintage pebbled leather and suede lining?
A: We recommend storing the bag loosely filled with tissue to help maintain its shape and keeping it in a dry, shaded place when not in use. Wipe the leather gently with a soft dry cloth, avoid overfilling, and take extra care around the suede lining, as it can mark more easily than smooth textile interiors.

Q: Is brown a versatile colour for everyday use?
A: Yes. Brown is widely considered one of the most wearable Softbit shades, as it pairs easily with black, cream, denim, navy and earthy tones. It offers a classic look that works well across seasons and occasions.
