Frequently Asked Questions

ProTuff is a thick, durable utility fabric that is waterproof and easy to clean. It is similar to the fabric used on outdoor furniture. The particular ProTuff we use is a neutral tan color.

Faux Brandy is a light weight, durable synthetic leather. The coloring of Faux Brandy is in comparison to our Cognac genuine leather.   

Our products are hand made with genuine leather. Genuine leathers can come from distressed hides that will have some imperfections such as scratches, brands and/or small dark spots and color variation. We try to minimize the appearance of the hide imperfections on your purchase, however genuine leather hides will come with some imperfections and cannot be cut out from the rest of the hide. 

Overtime leather can get dirty from your body's sweat and oils, sitting in the car, stoller, buggy etc. Your leather can also get very dry when in the sun often.  We recommend that you condition your bag every 2-3 months to extend the life of your bag. We offer conditioning services in store or you can purchase our condition to do it yourself. 

To protect your bag and elongate its use, we recommend that you spray the fabric on your bag with Scotchgard approximately once a month and/or condition the genuine leather. Here at Free 2 Fly we will clean and condition your genuine leather bag for $10.00. For us to condition your bag we would need you to leave your bag with us for at least 3 days to give it time to be cleaned and conditioned and time to dry before being used again. 

If you want to condition your bag yourself or you are not local  you can purchase our leather cleaning conditioner here and we will provide instructions on how to properly condition and care for your bag.

Due to the way each person uses and cares for their bag we have determined the "life of a bag" to be 1 year.

To get the most life out of your genuine leather bag we suggest conditioning your bag every 6 months! We can condition your bag in store or you can purchase conditioner here

Life of a bag policies:

Any Free 2 Fly bag that breaks within 6 months of purchase will be remade free of charge. 

Any Free 2 Fly bag that breaks within 7 - 12 months of purchase will receive store credit for half the purchase price and if possible a short-term fix can be made. 

Any Free 2 Fly bag that breaks after 1 year from the purchase date we will do our best to do a short term fix, but we can not guarantee a permanent fix to extend the life of the bag.
