ÀLMALA Leather Bag and Jewelry Care Guide

ÀLMALA leather bags are an investment in style and quality. To ensure they maintain their beauty over time, follow these simple tips:


Daily Cleaning:

  • Dust and Dirt: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently remove dust and dirt from the surface of the bag.
  • Light Stains: For more stubborn stains, lightly dampen the cloth with warm water and a mild detergent (such as a mild soap made for delicate skin).
    Gently rub the stain and then dry immediately with a clean cloth.

Hydration and Protection:

  • Nourishing Balm: Regularly apply a nourishing balm specifically designed for smooth skin. This will help keep your skin soft, supple, and protected from chapping.
  • Protection from the Elements: Avoid exposing your bag to direct heat, excessive humidity, and prolonged sunlight. These factors can damage the leather and cause discoloration.

Conservation:

  • Filler: When you're not using the bag, fill it with tissue paper or cotton fabric to help keep its shape.
  • Cotton Bag: Store the bag in a cotton bag provided with the bag or in a cool, dry place, away from direct light.
  • Position: Avoid hanging the bag by the handle for too long, as this can stretch the leather and cause it to deform.

What to Avoid:

  • Chemicals: Never use harsh chemicals, alcohol, or solvents on leather. These can damage the finish and discolor the bag.
  • Contact with Rough Surfaces: Avoid rubbing the bag on rough or abrasive surfaces.
  • Excessive Weight: Do not overload the bag beyond its capacity, as this can weaken the seams and stretch the leather.

Specific Tips for ÀLMALA Bags:

  • Fine Leathers: ÀLMALA bags are crafted from fine leathers and handcrafted. Treat each bag as a unique and precious piece.
  • Manufacturer's Instructions: Always consult the specific instructions provided by ÀLMALA for your bag model. There may be additional recommendations or warnings.
Important: If your ÀLMALA leather bag requires a deeper cleaning or repair, we recommend consulting a professional leather care professional or contacting us at shop@almala.it.










Note:
  • Care Frequency: How often you will need to clean and moisturize your bag will depend on how often you use it and the environmental conditions.
  • Preliminary Tests: Before applying any new product to your bag, test it on a small, hidden area to ensure it doesn't cause any unwanted reactions.
By following these tips, you will be able to enjoy your ÀLMALA leather bag for many years to come.

ÀLMALA Jewelry and Metal Care Manual

Jewelry, like handbags, requires special care to maintain its beauty and shine over time. Here are some helpful tips for caring for your precious accessories:

Daily Cleaning:

  • Soft Cloth: After each use, wipe your jewelry with a soft, dry cloth to remove fingerprints, sweat, and cosmetic residue.

  • Water and Mild Soap: For a deeper clean, use warm water and a mild, neutral soap. Dip a soft cloth in the solution and gently clean the jewelry, avoiding rubbing too vigorously. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.

Conservation:

  • Separate Box: Store each piece of jewelry separately in a lined box or fabric bags to avoid scratches and abrasions.

  • Cool, Dry Place: Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Humidity can cause tarnishing and discoloration.

  • Avoid Humidity: Before showering, swimming, or exercising, remove your jewelry to avoid contact with water, chlorine, or sweat.

Precious Metals:

  • Silver: Silver tends to tarnish over time. To clean it, use a silver polishing cloth or a silver-specific solution.

  • Gold: Gold is a very durable metal, but it can scratch if it comes into contact with rough surfaces.

  • Gemstones: Each gemstone has its own specific cleaning needs. Consult a jeweler for personalized advice.

What to Avoid:

  • Chemicals: Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, perfumes, cosmetics and detergents.

  • Bumps and Scratches: Handle your jewelry with care to avoid bumps or scratches that could damage the setting or stones.

  • Prolonged Exposure: Do not expose your jewelry to extreme temperatures or sudden changes in temperature.

Specific Tips for ÀLMALA Jewelry:

  • Periodic Checks: It is advisable to have your jewelry checked by a trusted jeweler at least once a year to check the condition of the setting and stones.

  • Expert Assistance: For any problems or doubts, do not hesitate to contact ÀLMALA customer service.

Important: If you have any doubts about the cleaning of a particular piece of jewelry, always consult a professional jeweler.

Additional Tips:

  • Ultrasonic: Avoid using ultrasonic equipment to clean your jewelry, as it may damage the stones or the setting.

  • Nail polish: Before applying nail polish, remove rings and bracelets to avoid staining them.

By following these simple tips, you can keep your ÀLMALA jewelry shining and shiny for a long time.
