Bag After Care
Leather and Fabric Care
ANILINE-FINISHED LEATHER
Slight imperfections are inherent to the leather, and the colour and shine may dull with age or handling. Do not scratch or rub the bag on abrasive surfaces and if dust/dirt comes into contact with the bag, brush with a clean and dry soft cloth. Polish with a soft, clean, light-coloured dry cloth and do not use solvents to clean. Use a specialist cream to clean or entrust treatment to a professional leather cleaner. When using care products, always follow the instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first. If the bag gets wet, pat dry with a clean, light-coloured absorbent cloth. Wait overnight before storing and allow to dry naturally away from direct heat – do not dry near a heat source. Water will cause darkening of leather.
SEMI-ANILINE-FINISHED LEATHER
Slight imperfections are inherent to the leather. Gently buff your bag with a soft, clean, light-coloured dry cloth. If dust/dirt comes into contact with the bag, brush with a clean and dry soft cloth. Use a specialist cream to clean or entrust treatment to a professional leather cleaner. When using care products, always follow the instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first. If the bag gets wet, pat dry with a clean, light-coloured absorbent cloth. Wait overnight before storing it. Allow to dry naturally away from direct heat – do not dry near a heat source.
NUBUCK AND SUEDE
Careful wear is important. Avoid contact with water/liquids or areas of intense heat/humidity. Avoid wearing with contrasting colours to prevent colour transfer. Do not scratch or rub the products on abrasive surfaces. To maintain the original colour and to preserve the velvety texture, gently brush with a soft-bristled brush. For superficial stains, a rubber nubuck/suede eraser brush is recommended. Do not use a wire or hard-bristled brush. If the bag gets wet, pat dry with a clean, light absorbent cloth and wait overnight before storing it. Allow to dry naturally away from direct heat – do not dry near a heat source. If your bag comes into contact with water, let it dry before cleaning.

FABRIC AND COATED FABRIC
Do not scratch or rub the product on abrasive surfaces. Any cleaning should be carried out with care using a dry cloth for fabric and soft, damp cloth for coated fabrics. Light markings may be removed by sponging with a neutral pH cleaning agent, in either water or a mild soap solution. Do not use solvents.

If the bag gets wet, pat dry with a clean, light-coloured absorbent cloth. Wait overnight before storing it. Allow to dry naturally away from direct heat – do not dry near a heat source. Protect canvas fabrics from colour transfer, as contact with dark-dyed materials may cause discolouration.
Storage
Store the bag in the dust bag and original box provided. Stuff lightly with tissue to retain the shape and store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight.
Wear
As a general rule that applies to all leathers and fabrics, avoid exposure to intense light and heat. Keep away from flames. Avoid contact with water/liquids and humidity. Avoid wearing with contrasting colours to prevent colour transfer. Avoid contact with fragrance/make-up/hand creams and abrasive surfaces.
