How To Care For Pebble Grain Leather Handbags & Accessories

If you’ve already chosen one of our pebble grain leather styles, you’re familiar with its texture and durability. But like any fine leather, proper care helps your look keep its beauty for years to come. Let’s explore how to keep your pebble grain leather looking its best, from daily maintenance to long-term care.

Since its debut in 1983, our Pebble Grain Collection has been a timeless favorite, evolving into one of our most loved collections. In 2013, we celebrated our 30th anniversary by reimagining the collection with our signature logo plaque and by 2016, we introduced an expansive color library that continues to grow each season.

The collection reached new heights in 2020 with our Italian upgrade, with each piece now featuring traditional Tuscan tanned cowhide. This approach elevated our designs, creating a soft, uniform texture while maintaining the durability our pebble grain is known for.

Drawing on centuries of Italian leather-making tradition, our Tuscan tanneries create leather through a carefully orchestrated milling process.

Each bag features:

• Italian vegetable-tanned trim
• Luxurious cotton-linen interior lining
• 14K gold-plated hardware
• Water-repellent treatment for added protection

Taking care of your pebble grain leather doesn’t have to be a huge undertaking. Simple habits can keep your bag looking its best:

• After each use, gently wipe the surface with a clean, dry cloth
• Store in a dust bag when not in use
• Keep away from direct sunlight
• Avoid placing your bag on rough or dirty surfaces

Follow these steps when your pebble leather needs a little more attention:

What you'll need:

Cleaning steps:
