If you purchased one of our suede bags (yay!), you might be wondering how to care for the material. Below are some tips on how to care for your suede bag so that it can be worn for years and years to come:
MAINTAINING YOUR SUEDE BAG
To keep your bags looking their best, invest in a suede brush—a handy tool that helps remove dirt and restore the fabric's texture. Additionally, it's vital to avoid contact with water, as suede doesn't fare well in wet conditions.

MOISTURIZING YOUR SUEDE BAG
Moisturizing suede revives the texture so it can return to its original softness. A small amount of mink oil poured onto a cloth and rubbed all over the suede can help prevent the dryness.
SO, WHAT IF YOUR SUEDE BAG BEGS WET?
Leaving your suede handbag at home on rainy days is the best way that you can protect it. If you do happen to get water on your bag, follow this technique for suede cleaning. Leave it to dry at room temperature -- never apply direct heat or leave in the sun as this can discolor or misshape bags during the drying off period. Once it's completely dry, brush the bag to restore its structure.
