Mirasol Bag After Care

Care Instructions for Artisanal Leather Bags

Keep Your Bag Looking Its Best

Owning an artisanal leather bag from Mirasol Accessories means you possess a piece crafted with the finest materials and traditional techniques. To maintain its beauty and ensure longevity, follow these essential care guidelines:

General Care

• Storage: Store your leather bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Use a dust bag or a natural-fabric pillowcase to protect it from dust and scratches.

• Handling: Avoid handling your bag immediately after applying hand cream or other skincare products to prevent stains and degradation of the leather.

Cleaning

• Regular Cleaning: Dust off the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For light cleaning, you can use a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the leather.

• Stain Removal: For spills or stains, blot (do not rub) the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. If necessary, use a specialized leather cleaner that is suitable for the leather type. Always test it on a small, inconspicuous area first.

• Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every 6-12 months to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Choose a conditioner that’s appropriate for the type of leather and apply sparingly.

Avoidance of Harmful Conditions

• Moisture: Protect your bag from prolonged exposure to moisture. In case of getting wet, air dry it naturally and never use a heat source to speed up the drying.

• Direct Sunlight: Regular exposure to direct sunlight can cause the color of your leather bag to fade. When not in use, keep your bag in a shaded area.

• Sharp Objects: Be mindful of sharp objects coming into contact with your bag to avoid scratches and punctures.

Professional Care

• Periodic Maintenance: Consider taking your bag to a professional leather cleaner once a year for a thorough cleaning and conditioning service.

• Repairs: For any significant repairs, especially hardware issues like zippers and buckles, seek professional help to maintain the integrity of the bag.

Traveling

• Packing: When traveling, fill your bag with soft items to help maintain its shape. Cover it with a dust bag to protect against scuffing during transit.

By adhering to these care instructions, your Mirasol leather bag will continue to age gracefully, becoming even more beautiful over time. Cherish it, and it will accompany you on many journeys, becoming a timeless emblem of style and craftsmanship.
