Bye stains and dirt from handbags and wallets using a damp cloth that’s smoother than R&B. If in doubt, baby wipes work too. Rub the stain with care; if you’re doing it like you’re de-steaming the mirror – you’re rubbing too hard.

Don’t wash the bags with water. Like never.

Let your item air dry if it gets wet. But don’t use hot, hair-dryer-like heat to dry it faster, it will do damage.

And that smell? All normal for PU leather. Don’t worry – it’ll dissipate in time.
