Specially developed a/u WABIkawa fabric for our Japan series: The outer material is made from tightly woven canvas. Combed fibers from GOTS-certified organic cotton ensure increased durability. A soft coating gives the styles water-repellent properties and a leather like look. It is a special PFAS free vintage PU coating that becomes polished through friction during use. The YKK zippers feature a waterproof coating. The premium cowhide leather details come from an LWG-certified tannery.

• Dust the surface occasionally with a soft cloth
• Remove surface dirt with a soft, colourless cloth, water and mild soap or washing-up liquid
• Cleaners designed for PU-coated fabrics are also suitable
• Avoid heavy rubbing when cleaning
• Use a PU care product to maintain the canvas
• Leather care lotions, oils, waxes, disinfectants and alcohol-based cleaning agents may damage the coating and should not be applied to the canvas
• Occasional use of a lotion for open-pored genuine leather will keep the leather applications supple
