FAQs

What material is the Howard London Washbag John made from?

The washbag is made from durable buffalo leather with a braided exterior.

What are the dimensions of the washbag?

The dimensions are 25 x 15 x 10 cm, making it a compact travel size.

How do I care for the leather?

Wipe with a damp cloth for cleaning and use a leather conditioner periodically to maintain suppleness. Avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged moisture.

Does the leather change over time?

Yes, the buffalo leather is designed to age naturally, developing a unique character and patina with use.

Is the washbag suitable for liquids?

The washbag is primarily for toiletries, not for carrying leaky liquids directly. Use travel-sized containers with secure lids. It is not waterproof but offers some natural moisture resistance from the leather.

Can I fit a full-sized toiletry bottle inside?

Due to its compact travel size, it is best suited for travel-sized bottles. Full-sized bottles may not fit comfortably or at all.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the retailer or Howard London's official website for specific warranty information, as warranty details can vary.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Apply a small amount of beeswax or a graphite pencil tip along the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth to loosen it.

Leather appears dry or dull

Apply a small amount of quality leather conditioner to a soft cloth and gently rub it into the leather. Allow it to absorb, then buff with a clean, dry cloth.

Minor scuffs or scratches on the leather

For light scuffs, often rubbing with a clean finger can warm and blend the mark. For deeper scratches, a leather conditioner or a specialized leather repair balm may help, or allow the natural aging process to mask them.

Interior lining has stains

Spot clean the interior lining with a mild soap and water solution using a damp cloth. Blot gently and allow to air dry completely. Avoid saturating the fabric.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the exterior and interior with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

  • Storage: When not in use, store the washbag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or damage. Ensure it is empty and the zipper is closed.
  • Water Resistance: While the leather offers some natural resistance, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Do not machine wash.
