“INTERVIEW FOR LIFE.”

As a general rule, we recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, and avoid taking your bag in rainy weather. For optimal preservation of your bag, store it in a dry room, sheltered from daylight. Depending on the leather(s) that make up your bag, the maintenance will be different.

For so-called "covered" leathers: Epsom, Cork, Caviar, Box. Before cleaning your bag, remember to remove any dust. We then advise you to use a soft cloth soaked in a little soapy water (Marseille soap or shampoo) and gently clean your bag. For ballpoint pen marks, it is recommended to go to a leather professional so that they can remove the ink because the solvent-based process can damage the bag if not done properly.

For vegetable tanned leathers: Ingrassato, Novonappa. Vegetable leather has the particularity of developing a patina over time. If the scratches appear
necessarily, they will be largely attenuated over time, by the effect of the patina. You can use care creams to nourish the leather. We recommend that you test on a non-visible part of the bag (the underside in general): take a small dab of cream and spread it well (be careful not to put too much). Then wait 20 minutes to see if the result suits you. If so, do the same on the rest of the bag.
