Caring for your bag
Taking care of your CapriNina bag—whether crafted from leather, cord, yarn, or fabric—is essential to maintaining its beauty and functionality over time.
The materials used in our bags may feature natural variations in color or texture, which are not imperfections but rather unique characteristics that enhance the individuality of each piece. Below are some helpful tips to keep your accessory in excellent condition:
The Natural Evolution of Your Bag
Over time, your CapriNina bag may naturally soften and develop a more relaxed shape. This gentle transformation is completely normal and speaks to the authenticity and character of the piece.
Maintaining Its Shape
To help your bag retain its structure, avoid overfilling it. Excessive weight can cause stress on the materials and lead to deformation. Try not to hang the bag for extended periods, as this may stretch the handles. When not in use, store it in a well-ventilated area. Fill the interior with white tissue paper to help maintain its shape, and place it inside the protective pouch provided at purchase to keep it free from dust. Avoid storing it in boxes, plastic bags, or in places that are hot, humid, or poorly ventilated.
Prompt Cleaning
If your bag comes into contact with water, gently blot it immediately with a clean, light-colored absorbent cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive substances.
Care for Cord, Yarn, and Fabric
While these materials are durable, they require specific care:
Gentle Cleaning
Use a soft white cloth slightly dampened with water and a mild, neutral soap to remove small stains. Let the fabric dry completely before storing the bag in its protective pouch. Always place white tissue paper inside to help preserve its shape.
Daily Maintenance
After each use, lightly dust the surface with a soft, dry cloth.
Protection from External Factors
Keep your bag away from direct sunlight, humidity, and excessive heat, as these elements may damage the threads and materials over time.
CapriNina bags are designed to endure and evolve beautifully with wear. By following these care tips, you’ll help preserve the elegance and authenticity of your piece—ensuring it remains a timeless and functional accessory for years to come. Your attention and care elevate the uniqueness of every CapriNina creation.
