Care and Maintenance

Maintaining the leather of our doctor’s bags is relatively simple:

1. Cleaning: You can remove dust and dirt with a damp cloth.

2. Care: The leather can be treated 1-2 times per year with a vegetable care product. We recommend products like Collonil Organic Protect & Care.

3. Waterproofing: To protect against moisture, you can waterproof the leather.

Tip: Store your bag in a dry place and avoid direct sunlight.

Natural leather develops a beautiful patina over time – a natural colouring and shine that gives the leather character. This is a sign of high-quality leather and makes each bag unique.

New bags, especially in light colours, may initially transfer some colour. We recommend being careful with light-coloured clothing in the first few weeks.

Our leather bags are water-repellent but not completely waterproof. Light rain poses no problem, but we recommend not exposing the bag to heavy rain or moisture.

For additional protection, you can treat the leather with a waterproofing spray.

Doctor's Bags and Accessories

Yes! In addition to leather bags, we also offer alternative materials:

Polyester: Lightweight and easy to care for
Tarpaulin: Very robust and water-repellent
MycaNova® (Mycelium): Our latest innovation – a vegan, sustainable leather alternative made from mushroom mycelium

All materials have their own advantages. Contact us for personal advice.

Our doctor’s bags are suitable for all genders. Many of our models are elegantly and professionally designed and are appreciated by both female and male doctors.

Popular models among female doctors:
– McFermoir Medium (classic and timeless)
– Zipper Backpack (modern and practical)
– Fashion Line (stylish with special colours)

No, we exclusively sell new doctor’s bags. This guarantees you the best quality and full warranty coverage.

Some of our models are available in various colours. If a desired colour is not in stock, we can check whether a special order is possible.

Contact us with your request and we’ll see what’s possible. Please note that special orders may have a longer delivery time.
