CARE
FUR
Taking care of a leather bag is essential to maintaining its good appearance and prolonging its lifespan. By following these steps, you can keep your leather bag in excellent condition for a long time.
- Clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
- For superficial stains, apply our pH neutral cleaning gel, following the product instructions, and avoid excess moisture.
- Moisturize your skin with a suitable cream to maintain its flexibility and shine.
- Store the bag in a dry and ventilated place, using its original Mimique cotton cover to protect it from direct light and humidity and stuff it with tissue paper so that it does not lose its shape.
- For complicated stains, consult a specialist.
SUEDE
Suede, which is a variety of leather with a more textured and velvety surface, requires specific care to maintain its appearance.
- Remove dust with a wire-bristled brush specifically designed for this type of plush finish.
- Use a special eraser to remove stains.
- Protect it from water and liquids by applying our waterproofing spray to create a protective film against water and prevent stains.
- For superficial stains, gently apply our pH neutral cleaning gel with a natural bristle brush following the manufacturer's instructions specified on the packaging.
- Store the bag in the cotton mimique bag to protect it from dust and direct light. Avoid storing it folded or stacked under other bags and stuff it with tissue paper to maintain its original shape.
- For complicated stains, consult a specialist.
WATERPROOF CANVAS
Waterproof canvas is a durable material that is reinforced with silicone on the back to prevent water from passing through. The outside of this fabric is made of 100% polyester that can be cleaned with a soft brush with natural bristles and a chemical-free pH neutral soap such as our cleaning gel.
It can be ironed gently with steam, keeping the iron away from the fabric.
To store your canvas bag, pre-stuff the inside with tissue paper to maintain its original shape and do not stack or fold it under other bags. Store flat.
MEDITERRANEAN RUSTIC CANVAS
To clean our cotton canvas, start by shaking off dust and dirt with a soft brush.
Prepare a solution of warm water and a mild detergent, then clean the surface with a white cloth or sponge. In heavily soiled areas, rub by hand or with a soft brush, focusing on the stains. Rinse with a damp cloth to remove the detergent and dry with a clean cloth to avoid water stains. For more difficult stains, use a stain remover specifically for cotton fabrics, following the product instructions. Make sure to air dry the canvas in a ventilated place to maintain its shape. It is not advisable to use artificial heat sources that can shrink the product. Do not put in the washing machine.
