The Ultimate Guide to Caring for Your Handcrafted Bag

Living in the Rhondda Valleys, I understand how unpredictable Welsh weather can be. Whether you've already invested in one of my handcrafted bags (thank you!) or you're considering adding one to your collection, this comprehensive care guide will help maintain your bag's beauty for years to come.

Daily Care Tips for Leather Bags

Each leather bag in our collection is crafted using premium, responsibly sourced materials. Here's how to keep yours in perfect condition:

• Protect from direct rain exposure (while the water-resistant lining protects your belongings, the outer leather needs protection)
• Clean marks gently with a soft, dry cloth
• Avoid placing on rough surfaces
• Store in your provided custom made dust bag when not in use

Caring for Your Vegan-Friendly Bag

Our vegan-friendly collection combines sustainability with style. Maintain its pristine condition with these tips:

• Use a damp cloth for general cleaning
• Enjoy peace of mind with our water-resistant lining during light rain
• Store away from direct sunlight to preserve colours
• Keep in a cool, dry place

Professional Storage Solutions

Proper storage is crucial for maintaining your handcrafted bag's shape and beauty:

• Use your custom-made dust bag (provided with the leather collection)
• Maintain shape with acid-free tissue paper
• Choose a cool, dry storage location (avoid attics and garages)
• Clean before extended storage periods (put removable chain straps into a ziplock bag before storage)
