All of our suede leather bags are made of genuine Italian calf suede of highest quality. However, suede is a delicate, organic material and will therefore naturally change when exposed to weather and everyday use.

In order to keep your new suede bag beautiful and enjoy it for as long as possible, we have gathered a few tips and guidelines for you to follow.

 

HOW TO CONDITION:

Before taking your new suede bag into use, please use a spray protectant suitable for suede. The spray is invisible, but leaves a protective layer on the bag making moist, dirt and grease more repellant. If you use your bag daily, we recommend using a spray protectant at least once every two weeks.

 

WHAT TO AVOID:

Please, do not expose your suede bag to direct sunlight or rain. The suede is delicate and will either fade in colour or the petite suede hair will become dull and flat.

 

HOW TO CLEAN:

We do not control the weather, and of course exposure cannot be avoided. In case of rain stains, please let the bag dry and do not rub. When it is dry, brush gently the petite hairs with a soft brush and the hairs will rise again. Of course, add a new layer of spray protectant.

In case of dust, dirt or grease stains, try brushing gently first. We normally do not recommend a cleaner product, since it easily removes the colour too. However, if the stain cannot be removed, carefully use a damp soft cloth or cleaner product. It is always a good idea to test the product on a less visible spot on the bag, e.g. the strap beforehand.

Never use soap or any harsh chemicals.

 

HOW TO STORE:

Store your leather bag dry and at room temperature in our dustbag. Use the original stuffing to keep the shape of the bag.

Enough said – just enjoy wearing your new suede bag!
