Follow these 7 tips to prolong the life of your Fauré Le Page item:

1. As a general rule, avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, high temperatures and inclement weather. If your bag gets rained on, pat gently with a soft cloth to absorb the water. Allow it to dry gradually, away from any heat source (e.g. a radiator, an open flame or a hairdryer).
2. Over time, your Fauré Le Page piece will acquire an exceptional patina. To preserve its vivid colours, minimise contact with coloured clothing (the colour might transfer) or abrasive fabrics (e.g. denim) that might damage the material.
3. Avoid contact with oily products, cosmetics, products containing alcohol and hand sanitisers, because they might stain or damage the leather and Ecailles (scale) canvas.
4. When not using your bag, fill it with silk paper to help keep its shape, then place it in its dust-bag.
5. The Ecailles (scale) canvas may be cleaned carefully using water, natural soap and a crepe brush. 
6. Leather (lamb or calf) is a natural, living material that needs regular care. Apply a dab of clear, alcohol-free nourishing cream. Using circular motions, rub it gently into the leather with a clean cloth. Exotic leathers require special treatment.
