Take certain precautions

1,Always put it away upright, in the original felt case, Pad it with tissue paper to keep he shape. Make sure that the chains are not in contact with the outside, as they might mark the leather, the simplest thing is to put them inside the handbag, in the tissue paper.

2,Do not over-fill your handbag, as this might spoil the shape irreparably, and strain the chain-fasteners, zips and clasps.

3,The metal parts of your handbag are gilded with an alloy containing 24-carat gold, which is sometimes sensitive to sea air and the acidity of the skin, and may eventually wear off. Clasps, chains and other metal parts can be re-gilded. Ask boutique for an estimate.

4,The tanning methods used by braned store keep the leather soft so that the surface remains alive and permeable. Avoid contact with water,grease, perfume and makeup.

5,Do not clean with products intended for other purposes, such as polish, turpentine,oil,spot removers,spirit or solvents.

6,Light-coloured handbags. particularly white and beige, are very vulnerable to dust and marks. Bad stains are practically impossible to remove.

7,White handbags are extremely sensitive to light, and the leather will turn yellow if it is exposed for too long to spotlights, fluorescent lamps, ect.

8,You can polish the leather gently with a natural-coloured soft woollen cloth. Do not rub with rough or abrasive materials.

9,If your handbag gets wet, do not wipe it but absorb the water by patting gently with fine woollen cloth.

10,Greasy marks can be removed with unscented talcum. Sprinkle on the mark, leave overnight and brush off gently with a perfectly clean makeup brush.

11,Minor scratches can be rubbed off with a clean, dry finger. Press gently, with a circular movement. The finger should be free of any grease or moisture.

12,Do not attempt to repair more serious damage yourself. Consult a branded boutique or a good leather.
