Comfort

Style

  • Consider the strap and how it complements the bag's overall aesthetic.

Materials

Quality

Maintenance

  • Consider how easy the material is to clean and maintain.
  • Leather is relatively easy to clean using our Andar leather care kit and ages beautifully.

Sustainability

  • Eco-friendly materials or responsibly sourced leather such as Saguaro cactus, which is vegan-friendly, can be important for people concerned with environmental impact.
