product care
To ensure continued quality of your purchase, please care for it appropriately.
caring for your SMENES handbag
As much as possible, keep in a cool dry place when not in use. Do not store in plastic bag, as leather may be susceptible to effects of humidity like mildew that could lead to deterioration. Prolonged sunlight will damage material and can cause brittleness. Leather conditioners may be useful in keeping leather supple.
Be sure to test a small area of the bag prior to conditioning. (NOTE: Color may darken slightly with conditioner.) Keep clean and away from any harsh abrasives to avoid scuffing. To remove dirt, use a clean damp white cloth and dry leather slowly.
caring for fine artisan jewelry
- We recommend storing silver jewelry in airtight container to slow effects of tarnishing.
- To maintain brilliance of natural gemstones, they should not be exposed to any silver polishing liquids, creams or harsh chemicals.
- Natural leather cords should be kept dry and not worn for swimming or bathing. This could cause deterioration of product.
- Jewelry may be cleaned with soap and water. A silver polishing cloth will remove most tarnishing that appears.
