Handbag Care Guide
Caring for your Alinari Firenze handbag
Care depends on the finish. Each product page names the leather of your bag; here is how to look after each one.
1. Smooth leather
Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid alcohol-based cleaners. Apply a leather conditioner every 6 months to keep the leather soft. For a stain, use a leather cleaner made for handbags and test it on a small hidden area first.
2. Embossed leather: croco, textured and honeycomb
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth, following the grain. Apply a little leather conditioner every 6 months and wipe off any excess completely, so it does not settle in the pattern.
3. Nubuck
Brush gently with a nubuck brush and protect the surface with a nubuck protector spray. Keep it dry. Never use conditioner or cream on nubuck.
4. Every bag
Store it in its dust bag, lightly filled with paper so it keeps its shape. Avoid plastic covers, as leather needs air. Keep it away from direct sunlight, heaters and humidity, and take care with light clothing next to richly coloured leather.
5. If it gets wet
Blot it gently with a dry cloth and let it dry naturally, away from heat.
6. Silk
Follow the care label. Store silk folded or on a padded hanger, away from direct sunlight and moisture, and keep perfume and deodorant off the silk.
With time, smooth leather develops a natural patina. It is part of the character of a leather bag.
Any questions?
We use full-grain Italian leather, chosen for how it feels in the hand and how it ages with you.
Each bag is cut and stitched by skilled craftspeople. The Maxima, for example, is croc-embossed full-grain Italian leather.
The result is a bag designed to be carried for years, not seasons.
