Caring for Caviar: Keeping Leather Icons Beautiful

A well-kept bag doesn't just look better — it holds its value. These are the habits our team recommends to every collector.

Storage

Store bags upright in their dust bag, stuffed lightly with acid-free tissue to hold their shape. Keep chains and straps tucked inside or wrapped so they cannot imprint the leather. Avoid plastic — leather needs to breathe — and keep pieces away from direct sunlight and heat.

Handling

Hand creams, perfumes and denim transfer are the quiet enemies of pale leather. Handle with clean, dry hands and be mindful of what your bag rests against.

Caviar, lambskin and exotics

Caviar leather is famously resilient — a soft, dry cloth is usually all it needs. Lambskin asks for more care: no pressure against sharp objects, and professional cleaning only. For exotics, always defer to a specialist.

Hardware

Polish gently with a microfibre cloth. Never use jewellery cleaner — plating is thinner than it looks.

When to seek help

For stains, edge wear or scent, use a reputable luxury leather specialist rather than home remedies. A professional refresh costs little against the value it protects.

Curated. Certified. Coveted — and cared for.
