At O’Eclat Designs, we craft our bags with premium leather, indigenous fabrics, and handwoven raffia, ensuring each piece is as unique as you are. With a little love and care, your bag will age beautifully and remain your stylish companion for years to come.
CARE TIPS FOR YOUR LEATHER BAGS
Leather is a timeless material that develops character over time. Here’s how to keep it looking its best:
- Keep it Clean: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. For light dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid soaking the leather.
- Hydrate & Protect: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep it supple and prevent cracks. Keep away from prolonged sunlight and heat.
- Store Thoughtfully: When not in use, keep your bag in a dust bag or soft cotton pouch, and stuff it lightly to maintain its shape.
- Mind the Elements: Leather doesn’t love water! If caught in the rain, pat dry immediately with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally.
- Handle with Care: Avoid contact with oils, perfumes, or dark fabrics that might transfer dye. Keep away from sharp objects to prevent scratches.
CARE TIPS FOR YOUR FABRIC BAGS
Whether it’s Aso Oke, Adire, Ankara, or Batik, our carefully selected fabrics deserve extra care:
- Spot Clean Only: Use a damp cloth or mild soap for light stains. Avoid machine washing or excessive scrubbing to prevent fading.
- Store with Care: Keep in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrancy of the fabric.
- Shield from Water & Oils: Fabric bags are sensitive to moisture and stains. If wet, air dry naturally—never use heat or a dryer.
- Ironing Tip: If wrinkles appear, use a low-heat iron with a protective cloth over the fabric to avoid direct contact.
CARE TIPS FOR YOUR RAFFIA PIECES
Handwoven raffia is lightweight, breathable, and naturally beautiful. Here’s how to maintain its charm:
- Dust it Off: Use a soft brush or dry cloth to gently remove dirt. Avoid wet cleaning as raffia can absorb moisture.
- Keep it Dry: Store in a well-ventilated area, away from damp conditions to prevent mold or mildew.
- Maintain Shape: Avoid overloading, crushing, or bending the bag to keep its structure intact.
- Steer Clear of Water: Raffia is highly absorbent and may weaken when wet. If exposed to moisture, let it air dry completely before storing.
A little extra care goes a long way! By following these tips, your O’Eclat accessories will continue to make a statement for years.
