Care & Maintenance

Caring for a genuine leather embroidered bag requires attention to the following points:

1. Keep it dry: Avoid exposing the bag to moisture or rain, as a damp environment can lead to mold or discoloration of the leather.
2. Avoid direct sunlight: Try to keep the bag away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from becoming stiff, fading, or cracking.
3. Regular cleaning: Use a professional leather cleaner or a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away surface stains. Avoid using cleaners with alcohol or harsh chemicals.
4. Protective spray: You can use a specialized leather protective spray to help shield the leather from stains and moisture.
5. Handle with care: Avoid pulling or squeezing the bag forcefully to prevent damage to the embroidered parts.
6. Storage precautions: When not in use, store the bag in a well-ventilated, dry place, and consider placing a moisture absorber inside.
