Care Guide

The Art of Leather Care

Your Lynette Forbes handbag is crafted from fine leather and deserves thoughtful care to preserve its beauty, structure, and finish.

  1. Store your handbag in its Lynette Forbes dust bag when not in use.
  2. Keep away from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, excessive heat, and humidity, which may cause fading, drying, or discoloration.
  3. Avoid contact with water, rain, oils, perfumes, cosmetics, alcohol, and other liquids.
  4. If your handbag becomes wet, gently blot the area with a clean, soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally. Never use direct heat or a hair dryer.
  5. For routine care, gently wipe the leather with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
  6. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically formulated for fine leather. Always test it first on a small, discreet area.
  7. Avoid harsh chemicals, household cleaners, baby wipes, and abrasive materials.
  8. Do not overfill your handbag, as excessive weight may affect its shape and place unnecessary stress on the handles, straps, stitching, and hardware.
  9. When storing, lightly fill the handbag with clean tissue paper or handbag stuffing to help maintain its structure.
  10. Protect the leather from rough, sharp, or abrasive surfaces that may cause scratches or scuffs.
  11. Keep light-colored leather away from dark denim and heavily dyed fabrics, as color transfer may occur.
  12. Gently polish metal hardware with a soft, dry cloth to help preserve its finish.

The Beauty of Natural Leather

Fine leather is a natural material, and slight variations in grain, texture, and color may occur. These characteristics are part of its beauty and make each Lynette Forbes handbag uniquely its own.

Thoughtfully cared for. Beautifully preserved. Designed to remain part of your collection for years to come.
