Care Guide

Treat a Frounder well and it'll outlast almost everything else you own. Premium leather is forgiving — a little attention goes a long way.

Everyday

• Wipe with a dry, soft cloth to lift dust and grit.
• Let it breathe — never store leather sealed in plastic.
• A few light marks and a deepening colour aren't damage. That's the patina, and it means the bag is getting better.

Conditioning

• Every few months, or whenever the leather feels dry, work a small amount of neutral leather conditioner or cream into it with a soft cloth.
• Test on a small, hidden area first. Less is more — build it up in thin coats.
• Avoid harsh soaps, solvents, and silicone-based products.

If it gets wet

• Blot, don't rub, with a dry cloth, then let it air-dry away from direct heat. No hairdryers or radiators — fast heat dries leather out and cracks it.
• Once it's dry, a light conditioning brings it back.

The engraved surface

• Clean it exactly as you would the rest of the bag. A soft, dry brush lifts dust out of the pattern. No special treatment needed.

Hardware

• Brass develops a natural patina over time. To brighten it, use a dedicated brass cleaner on a cloth, kept off the leather.
• Wipe steel dry if it's been caught in the rain.

Storage

• Keep it lightly stuffed to hold its shape, in a dust bag, somewhere cool and dry out of direct sun.
