BAG CARE GUIDE
LEATHER BAGS
Our leather is hand-picked for its durability, rich texture, and one-of-a-kind character.
Keep it Clean & Fresh: Wipe down your leather bags with a soft, dry cloth to prevent dust and dirt from building up.
Condition Your Leather: If your leather bags are starting to feel dry or a little dull, show them some love with a leather conditioning cream. This will help keep your leather soft, supple, and prevent it from cracking. Just make sure the conditioner you choose is neutral in color, so it won't affect the original color of your pieces. A little goes a long way, so apply sparingly and buff to restore that rich, luxurious finish.
Protection is Key: Give your leather pieces a layer of protection with a waterproofing spray. This will help guard against spills and stains. Just be sure to test it on a hidden spot first to be safe.
Air Dry, Don't Rush: If your leather gets wet, gently blot it with a cloth and let it air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight. Your leather loves a slow, natural drying process.
Store it Well: When you're not using your bags, keep them in a cool, dry place. Use a dust bag to protect them, and some tissue paper to help them keep their shape.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Keep your leather looking fresh by avoiding heavy-duty cleaners or chemicals. These can strip the material and cause damage.
NYLON BAGS
Spot Cleaning: For quick cleanups, wipe down your nylon and canvas bag with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, you can use a stain remover designed for fabric. Test it on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't damage the fabric or cause discoloration.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh cleaners, bleach, or strong detergents on nylon or canvas, as they can damage the fabric. Stick to gentle, specialized fabric cleaners in case your product has a stain.
Air Dry Only: Never put your nylon or canvas bag in the dryer. If your bag gets wet, reshape the bag and let it air dry naturally, away from direct sunlight, as sun exposure can cause colors to fade.
Prevent Fading: Over time, both nylon and canvas can fade from sun exposure and moisture. To protect your bag from this, try to store it in a cool, dry place, and avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for extended periods.
Waterproofing: While some nylon and canvas bags are naturally water-resistant, you should still treat them with a fabric waterproofing spray to add an extra layer of protection against the elements. Just be sure to test the spray on a small area first to ensure it won't affect the color or texture.
SUEDE BAG
Suede is a type of leather that has a soft, velvety texture, and it is created by sanding or buffing. Due to its delicate texture, suede is more prone to stains, especially from water, grease, or dirt.
Waterproofing: When using a waterproofing spray, test it on a small, hidden area before going all in. This will help protect against spills and stains. Please note that waterproofing spray wears off, your bags will need regular re-waterproofing depending on how much you use them.
Avoid Water: Suede hates getting wet. If it does and your product hasn't been waterproofed, gently blot it and let it air dry. Don't try to speed it up with direct heat.
Spot Clean Only: If you get a mark, clean it rather than going for a full wash. Suede is delicate, and a little gentle care goes a long way.
Brush It: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently lift any dirt or dust. Always brush in one direction to keep the nap (that's the soft texture) intact.
Revive It: Suede's natural color can fade over time. If it needs a little boost, use a suede conditioner to bring it back to life. It's like a mini makeover for your pieces.
Don't Rub It: Rubbing at stains or dirt can ruin the texture. Instead, gently blot or brush with a suede brush.
Prevent Fading: Over time, suede can fade due to sun exposure and moisture. To protect your bags, store them in a cool, dry place, and avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods.
PU (polyurethane) BAGS
PU leather (polyurethane leather) is a synthetic material designed to mimic the look and feel of genuine leather, but without the use of animal products. It is made by applying a layer of polyurethane to a fabric base (such as polyester or cotton), creating a smooth and durable surface that is both stylish and easy to maintain.
Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Store in a cool, dry place - keep away from direct sunlight.
Do not machine wash - this can damage the surface.
Avoid high heat - no tumble drying or ironing.
