New without tags Heath + Stein satchel in barley. About Heath Sews Designed and made at Heath in San Francisco, we stand behind the craftsmanship and quality of our Heath + Stein and Reversible Totes. They’re made to last a lifetime from strong waxed cotton canvas, cotton duck, Napa leather panels and patch pockets, and hand-dyed saddle leather details. Over time, the structure of the bag will soften and the materials will start to collect stains, markings, and creases — a visual story of where it’s been: dust from road trips, a shadow of indigo dye from your favorite jeans, the accidental spill of coffee. In particular, the waxed canvas will develop a patina over time; normal use will bring out unique character and qualities in the fabric that no other material can offer. Some of our bags are made with lighter-colored materials — including untreated vegetable tanned leather with its unique coloring, markings, and striations — which means that scuffs will likely be more visible. General Care These bags are pretty low maintenance and should require no special handling. In most cases, you can lightly brush off dried mud and dirt from the canvas and leather with a brush or a damp rag with plain water. Some customers chose to apply a layer of Scotchbrite (available at most hardware stores) for an additional layer of protection. Make sure to follow manufacturer's instructions for application, and do a test in a small, inconspicuous area before applying to a larger surface.
