CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Clean the leather flap gently — Wipe the embossed burgundy leather with a soft dry cloth. For light marks, use a barely damp cloth and pat dry immediately. Avoid rubbing the embossed floral pattern vigorously as this can flatten the detailing over time.
Condition the leather regularly — Apply a good leather conditioner to the flap and handles every 4–6 weeks to keep the leather rich, soft and crack-free.
Protect the Kente body — The African textile body should not be soaked or machine washed. Spot clean only using a damp cloth with mild soap, then air dry naturally.
Avoid colour transfer — The deep tones of the textile can transfer onto light clothing in damp conditions. Keep this in mind when wearing pale or white outfits.
Store with structure — When not in use, stuff the bag with tissue paper or a scarf to maintain its structured shape. Store upright in a dust bag away from humidity.
Handle with dry hands — Oils and moisture from hands can affect both the leather and the textile over time. Handle with clean, dry hands where possible.
Keep away from rain — This bag is not waterproof. In wet weather, protect with a bag cover or keep under a jacket. If it does get wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
No machine washing — Never machine wash, tumble dry, or dry clean any part of this bag.
