To ensure your KEAR bag ages beautifully, We recommend these key instructions are followed:
/LEATHER/
CLEAN:
To clean your leather goods, wipe with s clear, non-abrasive and soft dry cloth.
Apply a cleaner specially made for leather. This “soft soap” is applied using a circular motion and wiped off
with a slightly damp cloth. In case of contact with water, Do not rub the leather: Use a clean dry cloth and apply a gentle tapping motion to absorb the liquid.
CONDITION:
Think of conditioning as a moisturizer for your leather, which will dry out over time. To prevent flaking and wrinkling, dab a dollop of conditioner on a soft cloth and rub gently all over. Condition every month or so to keep your leather looking its shiny best. Stuff your unused bag with bubble wrap to restore and hold its shape.
/RATTAN/
CLEAN:
Keep the bag away from greasy substances (make-up) and alcohol (perfume, solvent). A feather duster or a clean, dry natural bristle paintbrush is the best way to remove dust. For deep cleaning, dampen a soft cloth very slightly with clean cold water and blot gently; then let bag air dry completely.
CONDITION:
handle your bag with clean hands; free of lotion, oil or grease of any kind. Body oils can damage the bag as can high humidity, by causing stains, mold, and mildew. KEAR items with braiding and weaving should avoid rubbing, sharp object and be handled with extra care.
CARE:

* To prevent dust, better store wicker bag in the cotton bag than plastic bag since most material need to breathe, a temperature change can cause humidity to build up.
* In case, it gets wet, hurry wipe and air dry, ensuring the fiber is no longer in humid.
* To remove stains or dirt, using an old toothbrush dip it in the soap and water mixture. Gently rub the stained area following the grain of the straw. Then, wipe the area with a clean white cloth to remove any soap residue and air dry it.
* You may use tweezers to get out any embedded dirt, but be careful not to poke a hole in the wicker.
* Applying a little wood polish/oil for the bag to have some moisture.
* To keep bag in shape, stuff bag with paper when not in use.

* Each piece is a delicate item, Please handle gently.
* Always store your bag in the dust bag and box provided when not in use.
