Caring for your Graínne Maher Leather Piece

The Beauty of Living Materials Your Graínne Maher accessory is crafted from premium full-grain leather, hand-finished by master artisans in Tuscany. Because the grain remains intact and unretouched, you may notice natural variations—veins or subtle marks—which are not flaws, but signatures of a high-quality, "transparent" skin that will age beautifully. Over time, your bag will evolve, developing a unique patina and character that reflects your life and journey.

Preserving its Radiance

  • Weather & Light: Leather is sensitive to the elements. Protect your piece from heavy rain, intense heat, and prolonged direct sunlight to prevent fading or drying.

  • Water Contact: If it gets wet, gently dab it with a soft, dry cloth immediately to avoid marks.

  • Avoid Stains: Keep your bag away from ink, perfumes, and lipsticks. Be mindful that dark or raw textiles (like new denim) can transfer dye onto lighter leathers.

Storage & Rest

To maintain its original silhouette, give your bag "rest days."

When not in use:

  • Empty and Close: Fasten all hardware and zips.
  • Fill: Gently stuff with tissue paper to preserve its shape.
  • Protect: Store in its original dust bag in a cool, dry, and dark place. Avoid using plastic bags or silica gel packets.

Professional Care

Our gold and palladium hardware is designed for longevity, but leather remains a delicate material.

To refresh the patina or address wear, we recommend consulting a leather specialist.

Avoid using commercial cleaners or home remedies, as they may damage the natural finish.
