It is designed to carry small daily essentials such as a smartphone (check dimensions against 17 x 11 x 5.5 cm or H 10 x W 20 x D 6 cm), keys, cards, lipstick, and a small wallet.
Care
To maintain the pristine condition of your cowhide leather pochette, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather exterior with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth to remove dust or light dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive water, as these can damage the leather finish.
- Stain Removal: For more stubborn stains, consult a professional leather cleaner. Do not attempt to use household cleaning agents.
- Conditioning: Periodically, use a high-quality leather conditioner specifically designed for cowhide to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Follow the product instructions carefully.
- Storage: When not in use, store the pochette in its dust bag (if provided) in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of it, which could alter its shape.
- Protection: Protect the leather from rain, humidity, and direct contact with oils, perfumes, or makeup, as these can cause stains or discoloration. Be mindful of sharp objects that could scratch the surface.
- Lining: The recycled polyamide lining can be gently wiped clean with a damp cloth if needed.
