Care for your KYT—
KYT is made from premium materials so your bag will last the distance. We're committed to helping you keep yours in tip-top shape — send any of your bag care questions to us at hello@kytbags.com
Leather loves a polish to help rehydrate its surface, keep it feeling supple, and bring back its shine. We recommend using natural beeswax products on a soft, clean cloth to polish and clean the leather parts of your KYT every few months. Use small circular motions to rub the polish in until you can't see any residue left on the surface.
Your KYT is made from leather that will become more supple and textured over time. After the first few wears, you'll notice that your testing station will open flatter and begin to mould to the shape of your equipment. If your KYT gets squished or misshapen for any reason, you can use firm pressure to massage the leather back into shape and leave it overnight to relax again.
Leather is a hardy material that can take a lot – but sometimes scuffs and scratches do happen. Luckily, taking swift action will help minimise damage. Leather responds well to the natural oils on our fingers – rub your fingers firmly over the scratch to help soften its immediate effect. Following up with a tinted shoe polish will help to replenish any colour that might have been scratched off the surface of the leather.

Just the basicsThis minimal case maximises space. StarterKYT cleverly fits your essential kit: an insulin pen, testing kit, and compact pocket for sharps or snacks.
