The Springbok hair-on-hide feature will not be affected by getting wet from a bit of rain for example. Being water-resistant it will dry out easily just like your own hair and go back to its original condition.If the hair-on-hide panel of your handbag gets dirty from a drink/liquid or substance then gently wipe the handbag with a damp cloth or a soft brush and let it dry out.N.B. Here it is important that whenever you brush or wipe it, you do not to brush up and down the hair-on-hide or side to side, but only brush/wipe gently in the same direction of the hair-on-hide as going against the direction of the grain may cause damage to the hair.
