Caring for your piece (Genuine leather)
- Keep it light: To preserve the elegant silhouette of your bag, avoid overfilling. Leather is supple and can stretch under pressure, which may affect the stitching over time.
- Surface care: Gently wipe your bag with a soft, dry cloth regularly to remove surface dust and maintain its natural luster.
- Avoid sharp: Be mindful of sharp or metallic objects that may scratch the leather's smooth finish.
- Natural drying: If your bag comes into contact with water, pat it dry immediately with a soft cloth. Always allow it to dry naturally in a cool, well ventilated space. Never use artificial heat sources such as radiators, hair dryers, or irons as these will parch the leather and cause it to crack.
- Conditioning: Periodically use a high quality leather conditioner to restore texture, suppleness, and shine.
- Shape retention: When not in use, lightly stuff your bag with acid-free tissue paper or a soft cloth to help it maintain its form.
- The dust bag: Always store your handbag in its dust bag. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
