Vintage Care Guide

General Care

• Storage
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep handbags in their dust bags (when available).
  • Avoid hanging bags by their straps for long periods, as this may cause stretching or warping.
• Handling
  • Wash and dry hands before use to avoid transferring oils and dirt.
  • Rotate use of your bags to prevent excessive wear on one piece.

Leather Care

• Cleaning
  • Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after each use.
  • For deeper cleaning, use a pH-balanced leather cleaner. Test on a small hidden area first.
• Conditioning
  • Apply a high-quality leather conditioner once or twice a year to keep leather supple.
  • Avoid over-conditioning, which may darken or weaken vintage leathers.
• Protection
  • Keep bags away from water and moisture. If exposed to rain, gently pat dry with a clean cloth.
  • Avoid household cleaners, alcohol, or harsh chemicals.

Canvas & Fabric Care

• Use a soft brush or lint roller to remove dust and debris.
• Spot-clean with mild soap and water. Do not soak or machine wash.
• Allow to air-dry completely before storing.

Hardware & Details

• Gently polish metal parts with a jewelry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Zippers and clasps may naturally tarnish over time—this is part of the vintage character.

Professional Care

Some pieces may benefit from professional cleaning or spa treatments. If desired, we recommend using specialists familiar with luxury brands to maintain authenticity and craftsmanship.
