Our gorgeous leather bags are not only stylish but durable as well. We use top grain cowhide leather which means they are super soft and very strong. Unlike synthetic materials, leather lasts a really long time. However to keep your bag looking great, a little TLC every so often really helps. We want you to be able to use your bag for a really long time so please follow the following guidelines...
Leather:
There are variations in the texture as leather is natural. Over time you may notice creasing and folding of the leather which is all part of the charm of the fabric. Some wear and tear of the leather in vulnerable areas such as the corners, handles and straps are to be expected. If the leather is constantly exposed to harsh sunlight there will be fading. Please store in the Spark of Wild dust bag when not in use. You should also store your bag filled as this will retain its shape (you can fill with old clothes or towels). Please also rest on the floor/shelf when not using to ensure the handles and straps are getting a rest.
Leather can never be entirely waterproof. All of our bags are made with a protective finish to minimise water damage, however its still a good idea to further protect your bag with a waterproof spray. Please ensure you follow the instructions carefully.
You can spot clean your leather bag with a slightly damp soft cloth if you were to encounter any spills or accidents. The use of leather cleaners and polishes are also recommended but please remember to follow the instructions carefully.
Pebbled Goat Leather:
Our Lenni backpack is made in Bubble/Peppled leather. It's a premium leather that's super soft and very gorgeous. Variations in texture, shade and colour are not to be considered an imperfection. Rather they are natural characteristics that only add to its uniqueness and charm. Some wear and tear in vulnerable areas is to be expected.

I love my Kalani nappy bag. It's the ultimate nappy bag without being too mumsy. I've travelled around Europe with it and it has lasted the test of time and wear! I couldn't recommend it more!

I have been eyeing off this brand & bag for over 3 years & now with my first child on the way I could justify the splurge. Beautiful quality materials used, the leather is so soft & the compartments & additions of the purse & change mat are so practical. I can't wait til I actually use it for its intended use. Great customer service from Claudine when I needed to contact them. The only hard decision I had to make was between this & the Havana, but the Kalani won haha!

I just received my Kalani and can I say, I am still swooning over it. The leather is just perfect - thick soft and nicely pebbled. I have been shopping for a nappy bag since 3 months ago and I only pulled the trigger when I laid my eyes on The Kalani. I went through so many choices and brands, but this was the only one that checked all my boxes. I love the fact that The Kalani has been designed for functionality in addition to being fashionable and stylish. The padded changing mat is a plus, and nothing beats the luxurious clutch which will come in so useful. It is versatile and looks like it will last me a long time, not just for bubby. Now I can't wait to take it out and just use it because I think the leather will wear well over time. The only thing is the finishing is quite pink (more rose gold than I thought it might be), but it gives it a feminine touch. I would have chosen the silver finishing just so my partner has no qualms carrying it too. I have to mention that the packaging was also perfect, and shipping was incredibly quick. Thank you Claudine & Ash. This won't be my last purchase for sure.

I recently bought The Van cross-body bag and The Kalani nappy bag, and I fell in love with both of them when they arrived. I love that The Van is very functional - the size is perfect for my stuff, it's spacious, I can put so much stuff in there with room to spare. I am loving the rounded zipped pocket on the flap that goes deep (perfect for stashing important / secret stuff) and the zipped and flat pockets inside. It's a very well thought out bag. The only thing would be that I am definitely preferring the feel of the luxurious goat leather on my Kalani. I am regretting not getting the same black one for the cross body version. The calf half looks great, the leopard print is on trend, but the bag itself is a little prickly when worn. If I could choose again, I would certainly get the Kalani cross body and I am now using all my might to resist buying another one right away in the Kalani or Kavana style.

I wanted to purchase a stylish yet practically designed Baby Bag. I didn't want to own one like all the other mums, I wanted one that would stand out from the rest and I have that in my Kalani. Beautifully crafted and the leather is soft and with loads of storage and the additional Nappy purse is fantastic for the quick trips without having to take a whole bag with you. And the best part is I will be able to use it as a great overnight/travel bag long after it's a Baby Bag.

My Claudine & Ash diaper bag is the best and only option when it comes to a stylish diaper bag. I searched high and low for the cutest bag I could find, after ten months I found the one! My friends can't believe it's a diaper bag, I receive compliments on it anytime someone new sees it. It's the perfect size and I just love looking at it.

I recently purchased the Kalani after hours of searching for a handbag. I dont have a baby, but I bought the Kalani by Claudine and Ash to use as my everyday bag. I love that its fashionable and practical - and I use the nappy bag as a makeup case which is awesome. I get so many comments on this bag, and have been asked quite a few times if its by Alexander Wang! I couldn't be happier with my bag ... I think there is a real gap in the market for fashionable handbags that aren`t either super cheap looking, or 1000's of dollars , thank you for filling it! I now have my eye on the Jordi!
Similar to leather, suede can never be entirely waterproof. Please also use a waterproof spray to protect and minimise any water damage.
Cowhide:
This particular type of leather needs to be treated with love. Some shedding may occur with wear in certain areas- this is a natural characteristic of cowhide. Should your product get wet, please allow to dry at room temperature naturally.
Nylon: Isla Nappy Bag, Willow Backpack, Lenni Backpack all have nylon linings which means if ever there's ever a spill or accident, you can just wipe clean. Easy! All our padded change mats are made of nylon as well so you can just give them a wipe clean.
Our bags have been designed to carry all the mum/bub items you need on a daily bases. However please remember overloading your bag may result in unnecessary stress on the straps, handles and zips. So please take care not to overload your bag.
