Superficial scratches on leather are a normal occurrence during regular use, giving your bag an individual touch. These marks will naturally fade over time as the leather absorbs its own oils and softens as a result. For deeper scratches, we recommend using a color-neutral (transparent) wax that is applied to the surface with a microfiber cloth. Apply gentle pressure and slowly rub onto the scratched area. Please note that the treated area may initially appear slightly darker, but over a few days it will gradually lighten and blend in with the color of the leather.

Over time, exposure to the sun can cause your bag to develop a coarser or drier surface. Whilst many of our customers appreciate this distinctive appearance, if you prefer a more even texture and softer leather you can easily restore the appearance by using a color neutral wax or leather cream.

Since Greenwood products are predominantly handcrafted, it is conceivable that certain seams may loosen over time. In such cases, we recommend carefully trimming the misrouted thread and sealing the opening with a lighter or thread burner to ensure stability. This practice will help extend the life of your product beyond normal. However, it is important to exercise extra caution and only use this technique on easily accessible areas as it has the potential to cause permanent damage to your item.
