Leather goods should be handled with care. Refrain from overloading the item to ensure it keeps its shape, year after year. Avoid prolonged contact with materials that could transfer colour onto the leather accessory, especially for lighter-coloured styles. Keep away from direct sunlight, humidity and heat for extended periods of time, as well as contact with cosmetics, perfume and other chemical substances. If the leather becomes dirty or wet, gently wipe the affected area with a soft, light-coloured, cotton cloth. Do not use soap or solvents. Leather goods should be stored inside its original dust bag. Roll the shoulder strap when not in use and make sure the handles are not folded.
