Pandakoala Bag Care Guide
At Pandakoala.co, we craft our products with care and precision to ensure durability and timeless style. Follow these care instructions to keep your leather and fabric bags looking their best for years to come.
Care Instructions for Leather Bags
Our leather products are made with genuine, high-quality leather. Leather is a natural material that develops a beautiful patina over time, making your bag uniquely yours.
1. Natural Leather Characteristics
- Variations in color, grain, or texture are natural and reflect the authenticity of the leather.
- Take care when wearing light-colored clothing, as color transfer may occur.
2. Keep it Dry
- Avoid contact with water, damp surfaces, or moisture. If the bag gets wet, gently dab it with a soft, dry cloth and allow it to air dry naturally—never use heat to dry leather.
3. Sunlight and Heat
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, heat, or extreme humidity, as these can cause the leather to fade, crack, or dry out.
4. Cleaning and Maintenance
- Wipe your leather bag regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt.
- Optional Care: To maintain shine and suppleness, use a colorless leather cream (avoid creams for Nubuck or Suede leather) with a soft brush or cloth.
- For added protection, apply a waterproofing spray recommended for leather products. Always test on a small area first.
Care Instructions for Fabric Bags
Our fabric bags are made with high-quality materials for everyday use. Proper care ensures they remain stylish and functional for longer.
1. Routine Cleaning
- Gently wipe the fabric with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust or surface stains.
- Avoid soaking in water, bleach, or harsh chemicals.
2. Stains
- For deep stains, clean the affected area with a soft brush or cloth using mild soap and water.
- Allow the bag to air dry in a shaded area to prevent color fading.
3. Protective Measures
- A universal protective spray (e.g., Scotchgard) can be used to repel dirt and water.
- If your fabric bag has leather elements, avoid moistening the leather during cleaning.
General Care Tips
- Storage: Store your bags in a breathable dust bag (provided with every purchase) when not in use. Avoid plastic covers that can trap moisture.
- Shape Maintenance: To maintain the shape of your bag, avoid overloading it and stuff it with soft fabric or bubble wrap when stored.
- Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be mindful of rough or abrasive surfaces to prevent scratches or scuffs.
At Pandakoala.co, we believe in creating timeless companions for your journey. With a little care, your bag will age gracefully and continue to make a statement wherever you go.
