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
