Caring for vachetta leather 

The natural vachetta trim is sensitive to water and develops a honey patina over time. Keep it away from rain and dye transfer, and let the patina build evenly rather than forcing it. 

Storage and shape 

Store the bag stuffed with tissue or a pillow insert in its dust bag, away from direct heat and sunlight, to hold its shape and prevent discolouration. designer bags range
