Care Tips

How to care for your bag

Genuine Leather and Suede

Clean with a soft, dry cloth. Use a nourishing cream specifically for leather every 2–3 months. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight and water. Store in a fabric bag.

Faux Leather

Clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid solvents or harsh detergents. Do not leave in contact with damp, dark surfaces to prevent color transfer.

Denim

Clean with a soft brush or damp cloth. Do not immerse in water. For stubborn stains, use a mild neutral detergent applied locally.

Faux Fur

Gently shake to remove dust. Brush with a wide-toothed brush. Do not machine-wash. Store without compressing it to preserve its softness.

Fabrics and Raffia

Clean with a soft, dry brush. For raffia, avoid excess water. Woven fabrics can be cleaned with a damp cloth and left to air-dry.

General Advice

Always store the bag in its original pouch when you are not using it. Avoid contact with sharp surfaces. Rotate the use of your bags to extend their lifespan.
