+ Style and use
In a world that requires us to lock our doors at night, we found ourselves needing to carry keys, many keys. Whilst in the future it may be possible to control everything via an app, if you’re like every, single, person I know, for now carry at least, carrying at least one key on a daily basis is reality.
And this is the reason we developed the DFYK. For about 10 years Tim, the animal that he is, carried his keys attached to a hook on an length of rope. It made him look like a happy dog, whilst this didn’t sit too well with Mathilde, it did mean for quite sometime we’ve been meaning to develop something less dog like. I digress.
When it comes to organising your keys, a split ring is perfect, but, as tried and tested by the master himself, a length of organic cotton rope really tops the cake. DFYK – a keyring the perfect size, making it easy to find and available in a range of colours.
How I’ve managed to write 200 words on the subject of a keyring I don’t know, but I can assure you, DFYK is great.
PS. It’s also excellent as an additional carry handle for any Cora + Spink utility bag or accessory.

D.F.Y.K.
Fun Fact. Whilst we've been trying to develop a keyring for sometime, it was the search for a small product that utilised our smallest waste scraps that prevailed with the development of D.F.Y.K.

Frequently asked questions.
+ Is the bag waterproof?
The outside canvas has a unique water repellant treatment that makes the canvas rain proof. The natural and vegan process the canvas undertakes is ideal for all normal weather and conditions, it can also be further treated with Cora + Spink wax finishes. Over time the canvas will need to be topped up if you're outdoors lots. Please get in touch if you need more information.
+ What is the returns policy?
We accept returns within 30 days where the product has not been used and is returned to us in the same condition (so we can sell it) as it arrived. This includes all straps, buckles, packaging, labels and other supplemental items included in the original sale. Please contact us directly to authorise and obtain a returns address. Full refund/returns policy is available here.
+ Care instructions.
All C + S products are made by hand using natural materials. They are strong and robust, but do require care and attention to ensure they have a long and fulfilling life. We recommend removing mud and stains with a stiff brush, you can then use a damp cloth to gently remove any unwanted marks.
Due to the nature of the material finish, you may encounter fading of the canvas - this is to be expected. Don't use harsh chemicals, and do not wash in a washing machine. Specialist cleaners can help - if you have a particularly difficult stain please contact us directly, and we will do our best to advise.
+ Is it vegan?
Short answer, absolutely yes. No animal products or by products are used in the production of the backpacks, this includes but is not limited to the glues and treatments, the inks, dyes and the waxes... the working environment where all the backpacks are made is exclusively used only for Core + Spink products, meaning we control all elements of production.

Found Cora + Spink through a friend who owns a shop in Bath - waited a few weeks for the Aqua Green to come back into stock, but have been obsessed ever since. Reading the reviews I think they are right that this really is the perfect company and bag. Every pocket, every stitch feels good. And it's still vegan! What's not to love.

Just received first samples of our new Its Navy canvas complete with a new finish applied. Different colours and different batches of canvas during the year have quite different or varying "handles", we love this change as it reflects the true nature of a natural material. But this doesn`t stop us from fiddling. Here we were experimenting with a stiffener that we can apply to give the canvas a slightly different feel, unfortunately it appears the effect has affected the waterproofing... These at home tests are great for seeing immediately how the canvas may perform... #test #canvas #byhand #waterproof #backpack #waxed
