How to take care of the bags

At Ann Kurz, we specialize in creating high-quality handbags, designed to accompany you through your day with style and functionality.

The quality of our products ensures their durability, but to extend their lifespan and keep them in perfect condition, it's important to care for them properly. Here are some cleaning and maintenance tips for different types of leather:

SUEDE

This material is very strong and durable, but it is highly susceptible to stains and water droplets from rain.

How can we clean suede leather? There are several products available on the market for cleaning this material, but we suggest the following method:

  1. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently brush your Ann Kurz handbag and remove any dirt.
  2. Next, wipe the surface with baby wipes.
  3. Allow the bag to dry naturally, avoiding direct sunlight, heating sources, or blow dryers.
  4. After drying, use the soft-bristled brush again to remove any remaining dirt.

For oil stains, apply talcum powder to the stain and let it absorb the oil, then brush it off.

NAPPA

This material is soft but it requires careful cleaning to maintain its appearance.

  1. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away any dust or dirt from your Ann Kurz handbag.
  2. For minor stains, lightly dampen a cloth with water and blot the area (avoid rubbing).
  3. Allow the bag to air dry naturally, avoiding direct sunlight, heat sources, or blow dryers.
  4. Apply a leather conditioner to keep the material soft and prevent it from drying out.
  5. If needed, use a leather cleaner specific for Nappa leather and test it in an inconspicuous area first.

METALLIC LEATHER

This material is sleek and eye-catching, but it requires special care to maintain its shine and prevent damage.

How can we clean metallic leather? We recommend the following method:

  1. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away any dust or dirt from your Ann Kurz handbag.
  2. For minor stains, lightly dampen a cloth with water and gently blot the area (avoid rubbing to prevent scratching).
  3. Let the bag air dry naturally, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or blow dryers.
  4. If necessary, use a mild leather cleaner suitable for metallic leather and test it on a small, hidden area first.

To maintain the shine, you can apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for metallic finishes.
