Care Guide
Keeping Your Black Caviar Bag Looking Beautiful!
Understanding how to care for your Black Caviar bag will increase its longevity. The longevity of any handbag will depend on many factors including how often it is used, care taken during use, and exposure to heat, moisture and sunlight. Here are some tips in getting the longest possible lifespan out of your gorgeous new Black Caviar handbag.
Vegan Leather/ Polyurethane Material Care Guide
Our range of handbags and accessories are crafted from vegan leather; a synthetic man-made fabric also known as PU (polyurethane). Chosen predominately for the ease and functionality of keeping clean, our vegan leather products are also suitable for those who choose not to use traditional leather products.
We recommend that you use your Black Caviar bag frequently to extend the life of your bag. To properly care for your beautiful Black Caviar accessory, please consider the following steps when caring for your product:
• Store in a cool, dry place where air can circulate, and your product is away from direct sunlight.
• Air your PU product every couple of weeks to limit the chance of mould.
• Try not to over-fill your Black Caviar bag, as carrying less weight will lengthen the life of your handbag and provide less stress on the handles.
• Please avoid any damp or wet surfaces. If your product gets wet, remove any residual water immediately with a paper towel and leave it to air dry naturally.
• PU/Vegan Leather products may produce colour transfer when damp or wet. Please ensure you are cautious when wearing with light coloured clothing.
• Please be mindful that lighter coloured bags are prone to absorbing other dyes from clothing (like denim), so take care when wearing them together.
• Please avoid any rough surfaces as this will be cause the material to scratch and scuff.
Suedette Care Guide
To keep your suedette handbag looking its best, gently brush it regularly to remove dust and surface dirt. Apply a suede protector spray to help guard against water and stains. When not in use, store your bag in a cool, dry place away from dust and direct sunlight.
Handbag Cleaning Tips
To properly care for your Black Caviar bags, follow these tips:
• Use a light surface spray, baby wipes or a slightly damp cloth with warm water to clean off any dirt or dust. NO HARSH CHEMICALS
• For stubborn marks or grease stains on Vegan Leather PU, use a sparse amount of De-Solv-It on a clean cloth and rub gently.
• To clean the inside lining of your bag, we recommend using baby wipes.
• To clean Suedette PU bags, gently use a baby wipe and soft brush against the grain to remove any marks.
For stubborn stains or if you're unsure how to clean the bag, consider taking it to a professional cleaner.
Wear & tear
Just like any other materials, vegan leather is prone to wear and tear. It may fade in colour, crack over time, peel. This is due to lack of proper care and environmental influences such as dust, sunlight, oils and rain damage and other things.
Example: A common effect of wear and tear is colour migration from denim or dark materials onto light coloured handbags. Scratches & scuffs caused by rough saufaces and everyday use. Pen and other liquid markers causing marks. This effect of wear and tear is usually irreversible. You have to take care of all your products.
We want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from The Black Caviar Designs Team.
