Care

While bridle leather is naturally durable, it should be protected from excessive moisture. If caught in the rain, gently pat dry with a soft cloth to avoid watermarks or staining.

To preserve its supple feel and rich finish, condition the leather occasionally with our premium leather feed.

Keep the bag away from prolonged direct sunlight, as this may cause drying or fading.

With time, the bridle leather will develop a deep, unique patina, enhancing its character and individuality.

Did you know

The Whitehall is a classic doctor’s bag, designed for purpose and durability. Its sturdy frame, crafted by artisans on New Bond Street, holds everything a doctor once needed, while lockable closures kept contents secure. The hand-stitched leather handle and bridle leather body, originally used for equestrian equipment, made the bag robust enough for rough daily use.

As horses and carriages disappeared, this durable leather found new life in luggage and hand-carried bags, adapting to the needs of travellers in the age of trains. The Whitehall is a working bag that carries not just tools, but the history and craftsmanship behind it.
