Care Instructions
At sha-rá, we take great pride in the craftsmanship
and materials used to create each of our accessories. To ensure that your
products remain in the best condition and last for years to come, we’ve put
together these care guidelines for different materials and bags.
Suede is a luxurious and delicate material that requires
special care to maintain its soft texture and appearance. Follow these tips to
keep your suede items looking beautiful:
- Avoid Moisture: Keep your suede items dry, as water can
cause stains and alter the texture. If your item gets wet, gently blot the
moisture with a soft cloth and let it air dry naturally, away from direct heat
sources.
- Brush Regularly: Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap
(the tiny fibers on the surface). Brush in one direction to restore its soft
feel.
- Spot Clean: For small stains, gently rub the affected
area with a soft, clean eraser or a suede cleaning block. If necessary, use a
suede cleaner specifically designed for the material.
- Store Properly: Store suede items in a cool, dry place,
away from direct sunlight. Use a dust bag to protect it from dirt and dust when
not in use.
Sheep Cabretta Leather is known for its softness and
durability, making it an ideal material for bags. To maintain its rich texture
and appearance:
- Avoid Direct Heat and Sunlight: Keep your leather items
away from heat sources and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this can
cause the leather to dry out or fade.
- Clean Gently: Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth to
remove dust and dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or cleaners. For deeper
cleaning, use a leather cleaner that is suitable for soft leathers like sheep
cabretta.
- Condition Regularly: Leather can dry out over time, so
it’s important to apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the
material soft and supple. Use a conditioner that is compatible with soft
leather.
- Protect from Stains: Avoid contact with liquids, oils, or
lotions, as they may leave stains. If a stain occurs, gently blot it with a
clean cloth—do not rub it.
- Storage: Store your leather items in a cool, dry place,
and avoid stuffing them with excessive weight to preserve their shape. When
storing for long periods, use a dust bag or cloth cover.
The Concert Bags are designed for ultimate versatility and
ease. Built to last, your bag is designed to withstand daily
use, but like all fine materials, it is prone to wear and tear over time. And like any well-loved accessory, it requires care to
maintain its shape and functionality:
- Keep dry: Wipe up any spills immediately with a
clean cloth. The waterproof lining will protect the interior but avoid moisture
on the leather exterior. If wet, blot gently and air dry away from heat.
-Avoid open glasses: To protect your bag, please avoid placing
open glasses or containers inside, as spills may cause damage to the leather.
- Clean the Exterior: Wipe the surface gently with a damp
cloth to remove dust and dirt. For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent
diluted in water and gently rub the affected area with a soft cloth.
- Protect the Hardware: The silver hardware on your Concert
Bag is an accent that adds sophistication, so be sure to keep it free from
scratches. Store the bag in a dust bag when not in use to protect the hardware
from getting scratched by other objects.
- Height Adjustment: For optimal use, adjust the height of
your Concert Bag as needed for different items. Ensure that any added modular
attachments are securely attached and properly fastened to avoid damage during
use.
- Storage: When not in use, store the Concert Bag in a dust
bag or a cool, dry place. If you've added modular attachments, remove them to
prevent any unnecessary strain on the bag’s structure.
While your bag is designed to withstand the test of time, it may
show signs of wear with use due to the nature of the items to be placed inside.
For deep cleaning or repairs, seek professional leather care. With proper
care, your sha-rá Concert Bag will remain a stylish and lasting companion.
By following these care tips, you can ensure your
accessories remain beautiful, functional, and timeless for years to come. If
