CARE GUIDE
What are the characteristics of the leather?
We use a classic leather that shows its wear beautifully over time. It will not remain pristine and sleek, and although scratching will occur, we do not view these marks as defects. The patina created by daily wear-and-tear is meant to change and evolve over time.
The vegetable tanning process results in a thicker leather, that turns soft with use.
Please note that vegetable tanned leather tends to oxidize when exposed to light, air, wind. This may cause the Tan and Forest colors to become darker and even brownish.
Also, as we use anilines to dyed the leather and give it color, in some occasions, this can generate the transmission of Burgundy and Black color when rubbing against the garments.
How do I care my Mecha Mendez bag?
We recommend to give your bag the regular use. The materials we use are resistant and gets better with use!
You can also expose the bag to the sun light and you will see how it takes a more intense color.
Please try to avoid managing the bag when wearing hands cream or oils, as the leather generally absorbs this products, leaving darker stains on the bag.
What happen if I'm caught by rain or I spilled some water on the bag?
Don't worry! We recommend to soak a cloth in water and wipe over the entire surface of the bag to even out the tone. Let it dry at room temperature.
How can I clean my colorful handles?
We recommend washing the colored handles by hand with a neutral soap. You can tumble dry it on a gentle cycle or let it dry at room temperature.
