Product Details & Quality
Handcrafted & One-of-a-Kind
Our bags are handmade with love and care, resulting in beautifully imperfect products. Expect variations in texture, stitching, and leather finishes. Leather labels are crafted from upcycled off-cuts, meaning each one has its own unique character. Some may be soft nubuck suede, while others are more matte or worn-in for that authentic feel.
Recycled Nylon Fabric
Our fabric comes from upcycled nylon, known for its strength and durability. This material may have minor knots or pulls, which are part of the raw charm and intentional imperfection we embrace. It’s the texture and unique finish that make our bags stand out.

A Note on Colour Transfer & Fading
- Extended sun exposure may soften brighter pigments over time — part of their lived-in charm.
- Earthy tones like Olive, by contrast, are naturally more UV-resistant. Their muted shades tend to hold steady and stay true in colour.
- It’s all about natural wear, not wear and tear — a finish that reflects life, not damage. Character comes with time.
Bright pigments—like pinks, oranges, and greens—can occasionally transfer onto light clothing, especially if the bag or clothing is damp. Think of it like dark denim and white sneakers: it’s rare, but it can happen. This is due to the dyeing process and varies by shade.
Caring for Your Saint Rue Bag
Caring for Your Saint Rue Bag
To keep your bag looking its best, gently spot clean fabric areas with a mild detergent and damp cloth. For leather labels, use a soft, dry cloth—or lightly damp if needed—to remove surface marks. Avoid soaking or harsh scrubbing. Over time, your bag will naturally soften and develop even more personality.
What to Avoid
Try not to overload your bag beyond its expected capacity or expose it to sharp objects—this helps maintain its structure and longevity. Rough edges, textured weaves, and natural leather variations are intentional and part of the charm.
A Quick Refresh Tip
If your bag’s been squashed under a seat or hiding in a cupboard, just reshape it overnight with a soft pillow or towel tucked inside. She’ll bounce back with ease.
