Caring for your Charlie Bag

Your handmade leather bag is crafted from high-quality, genuine leather designed to age beautifully over time. With proper care, it will remain a staple in your wardrobe for years to come.

Leather

• Avoid prolonged sun, heat, and moisture exposure.
• Keep away from oils, perfumes, and cosmetics.
• Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.
• For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and air dry naturally.
• Condition with a quality leather conditioner every 3–6 months.
• Store in a dust bag and stuff lightly to maintain shape.

Suede

• Protect from water, oils, and prolonged sun exposure.
• Use a suede brush to gently lift dirt and restore texture.
• For small marks, use a suede eraser — avoid liquid cleaners.
• If wet, blot gently and allow to air dry naturally.
• Store in a dust bag in a cool, dry place.

Brass Hardware

• Brass will naturally develop a rich patina over time.
• To maintain shine, gently polish with a soft, dry cloth. (Included with Bag)
• For deeper polishing, use a small amount of brass cleaner and buff lightly.
• Avoid contact with water, perfumes, and harsh chemicals.
• Always dry hardware thoroughly if exposed to moisture.
