CARE FOR YOUR B.MAY

Proper care of your leather bag is essential to maintain its appearance, durability, and longevity. Here are some tips:

Regular Cleaning: Gently wipe your bag regularly with a clean, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials which can damage the leather’s surface.

Avoid Water and Moisture: Leather and water don’t mix well. If your bag gets wet, pat it dry immediately with a soft cloth and let it air dry naturally. Never dry with a heater or direct sunlight, as it can cause the leather to crack or warp. Exotic leathers are often not as water-resistant as regular leathers. Consider using a specialized leather protectant that is suitable for exotic leather to repel water and resist stains.

Avoid Excessive Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to excessive sunlight can fade and damage leather. Store your bag away from windows or use protective covers when not in use.

Storage: When not in use, store your leather bag in a cool, dry place, preferably in a breathable fabric dust cover or pillowcase to protect it from dust and scratches. Stuff your bag with tissue paper or soft cloth to help it maintain its shape. Avoid plastic bags as they can trap moisture.

Avoid Overloading: Do not overstuff your leather bag beyond its capacity, as it can cause the leather to stretch and lose its shape over time.

Handle with Care: Be gentle with your leather bag and avoid rough handling, as excessive force can cause scratches and damage.

Dealing with Stains: If your bag gets stained, address it immediately. Use a leather cleaner recommended for your bag’s type of leather and follow instructions carefully. Test the cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn’t cause discoloration.

Patina: Leather develops a natural patina over time with use. This is a unique characteristic of leather and enhances its appearance.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based products on your leather bag, as they will damage the surface.
