Thoughtful storage and gentle handling can extend the life of a luxury piece. Materials and finishes respond differently, so use specialist advice where appropriate.
Everyday care
- Store items away from direct sunlight, humidity, and heat.
- Avoid overfilling bags or placing pressure on structured shapes.
- Keep cosmetics, pens, liquids, and fragranced products in separate pouches.
- Wipe metal hardware with a clean, soft, dry cloth after handling.
- Allow leather or fabric to dry naturally; do not apply direct heat.
Storage
Use breathable dust protection and light, acid-free support where structure requires it. Avoid sealing leather in plastic for extended periods. Store chains and detachable straps so they do not press into the item.
Cleaning & repair
Test no cleaning product without material-specific guidance. For stains, exotic skins, watches, jewelry, major shape loss, hardware failure, or previous repair, consult a qualified specialist. Repairs can affect value and should be documented when an item is later sold.
