CARE INSTRUCTIONS

How do I take care of deerskin?
Deerskin doesn't want or need much care. Please don't put any leather "treatment" on your Erda bag! Deerskin is so porous, it soaks up that stuff and will feel like an oily rag! After a year or two, if your bag does get dry, plain ol' handcream (Jergens lotion, for example) is best. It will darken the leather temporarily, but in a day or two it will spread into the whole bag evenly and the color should return to normal.

Will rain or water spot deerskin?
Yes, sometimes. But all you have to do to fix it is stretch the leather where the spots are and they'll disappear!

How will oil spots affect deerskin?

If it’s not a lot of oil, it may gradually soak in and disappear. Or, you can hurry the process by either leaving the spot under a hot light bulb or putting talcum powder on it to soak it out.
