Product Care

Caring for Your Collection

Luxury pieces are designed to be enjoyed for years.

Proper care and storage can help preserve the appearance, structure and character of your footwear, handbags and accessories.

Because natural materials respond differently to their environment, we recommend following the care guidance below.

⸻

LEATHER

Leather should be protected from excessive moisture, heat and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

We recommend:

•   Store leather products in their original dust bag where provided.
•   Keep leather away from direct heat.
•   Avoid prolonged exposure to rain and moisture.
•   Allow wet leather to dry naturally.
•   Do not place leather directly against radiators or other heat sources.
•   Use only appropriate leather-care products.

Do not use household cleaning products on luxury leather.

⸻

SUEDE & NUBUCK

Suede and nubuck require particular care because of their delicate surface.

We recommend:

•   Avoid contact with water and oils.
•   Use a soft suede brush to gently remove surface dust.
•   Store in a cool, dry environment.
•   Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
•   Use products specifically designed for suede or nubuck.

If heavily soiled, professional cleaning is recommended.

⸻

FOOTWEAR

Allow footwear to rest between wears whenever possible.

Where appropriate:

•   Use a shoe tree to help maintain shape.
•   Store shoes in their dust bags.
•   Keep them away from excessive humidity.
•   Avoid wearing delicate leather or suede footwear in harsh weather.
•   Clean according to the material of the shoe.

For fine leather footwear, rotating between pairs can help extend their longevity.

⸻

HANDBAGS

Luxury handbags should be stored carefully when not in use.

We recommend:

•   Store handbags upright where possible.
•   Use the original dust bag.
•   Avoid overfilling.
•   Keep away from moisture and excessive heat.
•   Avoid prolonged contact with heavily dyed clothing, as colour transfer may occur.
•   Keep metallic hardware protected from scratching.

Do not hang a structured handbag by its handles for extended periods unless the manufacturer recommends doing so.

⸻

HARDWARE & METAL DETAILS

Metallic hardware can develop natural changes in appearance over time.

To preserve its finish:

•   Handle hardware with clean hands where possible.
•   Avoid contact with perfumes, oils and chemicals.
•   Do not use abrasive cleaners.
•   Store the item in its original protective packaging where available.

⸻

STORAGE

When storing your luxury pieces for an extended period:

Keep them:

•   Cool
•   Dry
•   Away from direct sunlight
•   Away from excessive humidity
•   Protected from dust

Original boxes, dust bags and protective materials should be retained whenever possible.

⸻

PROFESSIONAL CARE

For valuable or delicate pieces, we recommend professional cleaning and restoration rather than attempting extensive repairs at home.

Nwobi Collections cannot guarantee the outcome of third-party cleaning, alteration or restoration services.

⸻

A Final Note

Luxury products are made to acquire character with use.

Natural leather may develop subtle variations, patina and marks over time. These characteristics can contribute to the individuality of a piece and should not necessarily be considered defects.

With appropriate care, your collection can be enjoyed for many years.
