Care instructions

To maintain the appearance of your ANNELIES TIMMERMANS handbag we recommend the following:

  • Avoid exposing your leather handbag to heat and direct sunlight for a long time. Some of the leather is vegetable tanned and is, therefore, more sensitive to light, causing color variations.
  • Regularly wipe your bag with a damp cloth to remove dirt. To keep the leather looking at its shiny best you can condition it once in a while with a mild leather cream, but please test first on a non-visible area of the bag.
  • Spray your leather bag with a water-repellent protective spray before using them, this provides protection against water and dirt, but keep in mind that it does not make the leather completely waterproof.
  • CAREFUL WITH ALCOHOL GELS!
  • Let water spills dry naturally, never use a hairdryer or another heat source.
  • Be careful with dark jeans, as the dye may run and transfer to the (light) handbag, it’s one of the hardest stains to remove.
  • Leather stretches out, but not back: if you overfill your bag, it will never return to its original shape.
  • Store your leather bag in its original dust bag, in a dry place where no other items press against it or lie on top of it.

As leather is a natural product, colour variations may occur.
Marks left by scars and insect bites are natural features of the used leather, making each bag truly unique.
