Ideal for you on the go and you only want to take your essentials with you. The Base Model comes with a YiY logo Token. Special about a YiY bag is your ability to personalize your bag with tokens sprouted from nature such as gemstones, shed antler and fossils. They are always unique, just like you and you can switch them depending on their meaning, your style, or your moment. The tokens make your bag, your soulmate unique and connect you back to (your) nature, to Your Inner You. YiY is a sustainable and conscious label and is accredited by Positive Luxury from London being a Brand to Trust. The bags are designed in Amsterdam and handcrafted in Spain by a small family run atelier that breathes quality, craftsmanship and client focus. Drop is made of soft, durable cow leather with a natural grain which makes the bag feel supple while holding its structure. Drop is made to last and with respect for nature, evoking nature’s power and elegance. The curved, beautifully handcrafted weave leads you to the YiY-logo token or your own unique token (sold seperately). The bag is lined with custom GOTS certified cotton, inspired by photography of water and air, symbolising (inner) freedom. * Natural grain bovine leather * Internal zipper pocket, secure click-system to click tokens on/off * Zipper closure * 8mm single-tooth, high quality zippers * Special developed YiY handle connectors * Custom logo token * Adjustable shoulder strap * YiY GOTS cotton lining inspired by photography of water and air * Comes with custom dustbag for protection * Token collection box INSPIRATION For your inspiration images have been added to show you how the look of your bag changes with different types of tokens.

As for any natural product, they need to be taken care of in a conscious way to ensure you can enjoy it ‘forever’ moments long. Please be aware that full grain leather is a natural product and as such will show changes in its structure and maybe some small irregularities. Over time leather will adapt to its user and its use, becomes more supple and may show some wrinkles or folds. Here you find some tips: Protect the leather: We recommend a product to improve the water resistance of the leather. It can help leather to resist dirt and moisture. Collonil Leather Gel is a good example and is a solvent-free gentle gel. Before applying clean with a soft damp cloth to remove any surface dirt Apply the product evenly with a clean white cotton cloth, followed by a dry cotton cloth to buff. Use products regularly on heavily used bags. Another option is Collonil Wax Spray that you can spray on to protect your bag. With any products, test a small patch on the bag to make sure it doesn’t cause discoloration. Protect the lining: The eco cotton lining is custom and multi-coloured. This looks not only beautiful but will help you to keep stains or spills more invisible as they might happen. Furthermore you can use little pouches to store cosmetics and liquids, which will protect the handbag lining from spills and keep you organised to boot. Avoid click pens at all cost, opting for pens with caps instead.Clean For regular cleaning use a soft damp cloth to remove any surface dirt on a weekly basis. This will do a lot for keeping your bag looking shiny and healthy. If the hardware on your bag might start to lose its shine, a soft cloth with jewelry cleaner should do the trick. In case of stains we recommend to take it to a professional. It depends on the type of stain how you should treat it. In any case: never use baby wipes, vinegar or any other 'home remedy' for cleaning or stain removal. Many of these products have chemicals and substances in them that can cause damage to the colour, dry the leather out, create a build up of grease in the leather and any number of other problems. Professional care: For stains and wear and tear beyond your handbag maintenance skill set, take it to a handbag repair professional. And in any case it is a good idea to have your bag treated professionally every half year. Store: Your bag lasts much longer if you store it in the right way: * In an upright position * In the special Microfiber YiY dust bags * Stuff your bags with scarves, sweaters, or acid-free tissue paper. * Cross the handles over each other or protect them to avoid wear on the bag.In everyday use Tips for every day: * Your YiY bag likes to mix up standing and hanging down. In that way it will stay better in shape. * Avoid handling your bag if your hands are dirty or have lotion or cream on them. * Keep your bag out of direct sunlight and try to avoid (heavy) rain * Regular use of a leather moisturizer will keep the leather supple and free of cracks. * Wipe your bag down on a weekly basis (when in use) with a soft damp cloth. * Let your bag when wet, dry naturally. High-heat measures like heater or hairdryer will damage your bag.
