To ensure the longevity and beauty of your Okiyama Bag, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning:
- Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the exterior.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the leather.
- Conditioning:
- Apply a leather conditioner every 6-12 months to maintain softness and prevent drying or cracking.
- Test the conditioner on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility.
- Storage:
- Store the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
- Use a dust bag or pillowcase to protect it from dust and scratches when not in use.
- Avoid Water Exposure:
- While the leather is water-resistant, excessive moisture can still affect its appearance.
- If the bag gets wet, gently blot it with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Handling:
- Avoid overloading the bag to maintain its shape and structure.
- Be mindful of sharp objects that could puncture or scratch the leather.
By following these care guidelines, your Okiyama Bag will continue to look beautiful and develop a unique patina over time, enhancing its character and charm.
