Care tips to preserve the patent calfskin

Patent calfskin is glossy and eye-catching but should be treated with gentle care. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use to remove surface dust. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat, and store the bag in its dust bag when not in use to protect the finish. For hardware, a soft polishing cloth will maintain shine without scratching the metal.
