Good care makes your bag last longer and age beautifully.
Discover a few simple ways to clean, protect, and store your NELLE DEMESMAEKER with care.

Remove dirt

Gently brush off visible dust or dirt using a soft, clean brush.

Clean

Use a slightly damp (not wet!) cloth to remove invisible dust, dirt, or pollution.

For stubborn stains, apply a specialized leather cleaner, the right product depends on the type of leather.
Always test the product first on a small, hidden area inside the bag.

Moisturize

Just like our skin, leather needs hydration to stay soft and supple.
Without regular care, the leather may dry out or develop wrinkles over time.

Use a colorless leather conditioner or nourishing cream to restore its natural softness and subtle shine.
Apply with a clean, soft cloth, using small circular motions.

Protect

Protection is the final and most important step.
Use a PFAS/PFOS-free water-repellent spray to shield your bag from dirt and moisture.
Allow it to dry completely before use or storage.

Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators or fireplaces, which can cause fading or drying.
If your bag becomes wet, let it dry naturally, never use a hairdryer or place it near heat.

Store with care

When not in use, keep your bag in its dust bag, stored in a cool, well-ventilated place.
Avoid overfilling to help maintain its shape.
You can fill it with tissue paper during storage or off-season to preserve its form.
Do not store leather in plastic, it needs to breathe.
