CareHanding down a madrasah bag to a younger sibling
A good madrasah bag can serve two or three children. Before handing it down, empty and clean it, fix any loose stitching or straps, condition leather, replace the name label, and add something that makes it the younger child's own, such as a new keyring or their initials. Check the strap still adjusts short enough for a smaller child.

Yes, once it's cleaned and fully dried. Leather bags are commonly passed down. It's one of the reasons a durable bag works out cheaper. See cost per year.
