D&B calls this talk about texture, and the Suede Small Messenger earns that description through a combination the collection rarely pairs this well: a classic messenger silhouette in Italian finish-protected full-grain suede with a tongue tab buckle closure that gives it a vintage-leather-goods quality that most messenger bags at any price point do not have. The exterior pocket gives immediate access to frequently needed items without opening the main bag, the interior zip pocket keeps valuables secure, the interior pocket gives smaller items a tidy separate home, and the key hook keeps your keys in one consistent, easy-to-find location throughout the day.The Suede Small Messenger wears as a comfortable everyday crossbody with a natural, relaxed drape. The tongue tab buckle closure opens with the tactile satisfaction of a genuine hardware closure and adds to the handcrafted, Italian-goods character of the bag. The suede has a finish-protection treatment for general water repellency; if wet, blot dry and use a suede brush to restore the nap. A D&B customer in Florida says suede is their favorite leather and they love this one Ñ and the material confirms that reaction.
Crafted in Italy from full-grain cowhide, this plush suede is finish-protected for durability. Soft to the touch with a rich, velvety hand, it brings a refined elegance to every style.
Dooney & Bourke's Suede Collection has been treated for general water repellency. However, some water absorption is possible within excessive water conditions. If this happens, a dry cloth should be used to blot the excess liquid and the material should be allowed to dry thoroughly. Once dry, a suede brush should be used to gently lift the napDue to the unique texture, some consideration should be given when using during inclement weather. In addition, care should also be taken as to where these particular handbags are stored when not in use. This consideration will keep the soil on the bottom to a mini- mum and maintain the optimal beauty of the handbag.No creams, polishes, or leather conditioning products should be used on the leather trim and handles. Please note that it is a natural characteristic of Vacchetta Leather to darken over time, with use and exposure to light.
