TIPS & MAINTENANCE
Here are some essential recommendations for preserving the beauty and durability of your FIORELLA made in Italy leather bags:
1. Regular cleaning
-
Wipe gently: Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust from your leather bag.
-
Deep cleaning: Once a month, apply a special leather cleaning milk with a cloth to gently clean your leather bag (excluding suede leather).
2. Leather hydration
-
Nourish the leather: Apply a specific leather cream or balm every 3 to 6 months. This will prevent the leather from drying out or cracking (excluding suede leather).
-
Test before use: Always test products on a small, discreet area before applying them to the entire bag.
3. Proper storage
-
Protect from light: Store your leather bag away from direct sunlight, which can fade the leather.
-
Fill to maintain shape: Place tissue paper or a soft cloth inside the leather bag to prevent it from sagging.
-
Dust bag: Store your leather bag in a fabric dust bag to protect it from dust and moisture (avoid plastic bags, which trap moisture). A Fiorella dust bag is provided with your order (depending on availability).
4. Avoid water and humidity
-
Water protection: Apply a suitable waterproofing spray to protect the leather from water and stains. However, clasps and ornaments are not water-resistant and may rust, especially with prolonged contact with water. Be sure to keep them away from rain and any source of moisture.
-
Dry gently: In case of contact with water, gently blot with a dry cloth and let air dry. Never use a heat source (like a hairdryer) on your leather bag or accessory.
5. Scratch prevention
-
Avoid rough surfaces: Place your leather bag on smooth, clean surfaces to prevent scratches.
-
Store sharp objects: Use inner pockets to protect the leather from keys or other sharp objects.
6. Specific care depending on the leather type
-
Smooth leather: Clean and moisturize your leather bag regularly to maintain its shine.
-
Suede/nubuck leather: Gently brush with a special brush to revive the nap and remove small stains with a suitable eraser for your leather bag.
7. In case of problems
-
Professional repair: If the leather is damaged, entrust it to a specialist for maintenance or repair.
By following these tips, your Fiorella leather bag will retain its elegance and timeless character for years to come!
