It is a fact that every material, leather, fabric or leatherette has its own unique way of care, so all you have to do is contact and consult the store or the manufacturer for the right way of care. On leather, however, the usual way of care is with a light and careful coating of Vaseline to moisturize and shine the material.

3. Maintain its shape

When you store it, it is advisable to fill it with "barrels" of paper, so that it does not lose its form.

Elements such as lipstick and ink are not removed from the bag, so consult for other stains the experts who will recommend specialized products for the proper maintenance of your bag.

6. Beware of weather conditions

Both intense sunlight and rain, which can be acidic, are elements that will alter the structure of the bag.
