“AWL requires very minimal care - just wiping with a damp cloth. More difficult stains may be removed with water and a mild bar soap such as Ivory or saddle soap.” -Wikipedia
“The secret lies in the tanning process. First, our hides are soaked in curing tannin oils and laid out to dry. As the leather shrinks, its pores tighten and close - this creates a natural barrier to moisture. And gives All-Weather Leather its distinctive pebble-grain texture. The result is leather that's soft and supple to the touch, yet virtually impervious to the elements. There's no need to pamper it with wax or silicones. A simple solution of bar soap and water is sufficient to remove most dirt and water-soluble stains.»D&B website http://reviews.ebay.com/Illustrated-Guide-to-AWL-Dooney-amp-Bourke-Handbags_W0QQugidZ10000000003437163
