Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, humidity, or heat. These can cause fading, drying, or warping of the leather.
-
If the leather gets wet, blot gently with a clean, dry cloth. Never rub or use heat to dry. Let it air dry naturally.
-
Store in cool, dry place inside the provide dust bag. Avoid plastic bags or tight spaces that don't allow air circulation.
-
Keep away from oils, perfumes, or makeup. These can cause stains or discolorations that are difficult to remove.
-
Use a soft brush or dry cloth to remove surface dust regularl. Keep it clean without harsh chemical
-
Condition the leather sparingly, only when its dry. Use a neutral leather balm and always test on a hidden area first.
NAPPA LEATHER
Soft, smooth, and natural-grain leather with minimal surface treatment. Keep away from rough surfaces, nappa can scratch easily. Handle with clean hand to avoid transferring oils. Do not over-condition, once or twice per year is usually enough. Avoid bulky stuffing that stretches the soft leather, fill gently to help retain shape.
CROCO-EMBOSSED COW LEATHER
Durable cowhide with a sculpted, reptile-textured finish. Clean using a soft cloth, dry or lightly damp. Use a soft-bristle brush to reach into textured grooves. Avoid wax-based conditioners that may dull the embossed pattern. Keep it away from abrasive surfaces that could flatten the embossing.
SHEEPSKIN SUEDE
Delicate, velvety texture with a naturally matte, absorbent surface. Keep away from moisture and ink, suede absorbs quickly. Gently brush using a soft brush to remove surface dust. Do not place makeup, pens or sharp objects directly inside the bag. If stained, see professional cleaning. Do not use water or detergent.
RECOMMENDED CARE
To maintain the beauty of your Studio Dua bag, we recommend using gentle, pH-balanced leather care products such as Chamberlain’s Leather Milk or Lexol for cleaning and conditioning, and a soft suede brush or eraser (e.g. Jason Markk or Kiwi) for suede care. For light maintenance, a clean toothbrush and dry cloth work perfectly.
WHAT TO EXCPECT OVER TIME
Natural leather is a living material, it changes with use, exposure, and time.
You may notice subtle shifts in color, a softening of the surface, or small marks from daily wear. These changes are not flaws, they’re a reflection of your personal journey.
With proper care, the leather will develop a rich, smooth patina that enhances its character and tells a story that’s uniquely yours.
No two bags will age the same. That’s part of what makes it special.
