Bags & Purses Care

To ensure your embellished, faux leather, and fabric handbags, wallets, purses, and clutches maintain their beauty and longevity, please follow these simple aftercare instructions:

General Care

  • Handle with Care: Treat your accessory gently to avoid scuffs, scratches, or damage to embellishments.
  • Avoid Overloading: Don't overstuff your bag or wallet to maintain its shape and prevent strain on seams.
  • Store Properly: When not in use, store your accessory in a cool, dry place, preferably in a dust bag or a clean cloth.
  • Keep Away from Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can fade colors and damage materials.

Natural Leather

  • Cleaning: Wipe your leather accessory with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt or stains. For stubborn stains, use a leather cleaner following the product's instructions.
  • Conditioning: Regularly apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out or cracking. Follow the product's recommended application frequency.
  • Protection: Use a leather protector or waterproof spray to create a barrier against moisture and stains. Reapply as needed, especially in rainy or humid conditions.
  • Avoid Extreme Conditions: Leather can be sensitive to extreme heat or cold. Avoid leaving your accessory in a hot car or exposing it to freezing temperatures.
  • Storage: When not in use, store your leather accessory in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and preferably in a dust bag or a clean cloth. To maintain its shape, fill it with tissue paper or a soft fabric.

    Faux Leather

    • Cleaning: Wipe gently with a damp, soft cloth to remove dirt or stains. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials.
    • Conditioning: Use a specialized faux leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
    • Waterproofing: Apply a waterproof spray to shield your accessory from moisture and stains.

    Embellished Accessories

    • Handle with Extra Care: Be cautious with embellished areas to avoid snagging or losing embellishments.
    • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry brush to remove dust or dirt from embellishments. For stubborn stains, consult a professional cleaner.
    • Storage: When storing, place embellished items in separate compartments or pouches to prevent rubbing against other objects.

    Fabric Accessories

    • Spot Cleaning: Blot stains with a clean, damp cloth, and avoid excessive rubbing to prevent color fading or damage to the fabric.
    • Dry Cleaning: If needed, take your fabric accessory to a professional dry cleaner who specializes in delicate fabrics.
    • Ironing: If wrinkles occur, use a low-heat iron with a cloth barrier between the iron and the fabric to avoid direct contact.

    Zippers and Hardware

    • Keep Zippers Smooth: Periodically lubricate zippers with a small amount of zipper wax or paraffin to ensure smooth operation.
    • Hardware: Gently clean hardware with a soft, damp cloth to maintain its shine.

    Color Maintenance

    • Color Transfer: Be cautious with light-colored accessories, as they may pick up color from dark fabrics. Store separately if necessary.
