THE WEATHER AGED PROCESS
To keep the process organic, we age the bags by exposing them to weather and later, by treating them with natural oil. Because we expose these bags to the elements they may develop natural stains. We don't have control over this, that's the beauty of the process.
During the Fall/Winter months in NY, our daylight hours shrink.... during these seasons, please allow a bit more time for the weather-aging process to occur. For the same reason, the weather-aged color may be a bit lighter. Still, with frequent use over time the leather will darken and develop a darker patina. The more sun the bag is exposed to, the faster the patina will develop!
