LEATHER CARE & REPAIR

12. How do I spot-clean my leather bag?

For everyday marks, gently blot the area with a soft, dry cloth — do not rub. For light soiling, use a barely damp cloth with plain water and blot, then leave the bag to air-dry naturally away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Avoid household cleaners, alcohol-based wipes, or baby wipes, as these can strip the leather's finish.

13. Can I use leather conditioner or cream on my IVY bag?

A small amount of colourless, leather-specific conditioner can help maintain suppleness if applied with a soft cloth and buffed gently. Always test on a hidden seam or base patch first and allow it to absorb fully before use. Avoid heavy wax-based or silicone products.

14. How should I store my leather bag when not in use?

Store your bag stuffed lightly with tissue paper (not newspaper) to help it hold its shape. Keep it in its dust bag or a breathable cotton pillowcase — never sealed in plastic, which traps moisture. Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, humidity, and heat. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of it.

15. How do I protect my bag from moisture and humidity?

Leather and water are not friends. If your bag gets wet, gently blot off excess moisture with a dry cloth and allow it to dry slowly at room temperature — never use a hairdryer or place it near a radiator. In humid climates, store with a silica gel sachet inside the dust bag to absorb excess moisture.

16. How do I care for the hardware (zips, clasps, rings)?

Wipe metal hardware occasionally with a dry, soft cloth to prevent tarnishing. Avoid contact with perfume, hand sanitiser, and salt water. If a zip feels stiff, a very small amount of clear wax (e.g., a candle edge) run lightly along the teeth can help — do not use oil or lubricant spray, which can transfer to the leather.

17. What does IVY's support cover — and what is excluded?

IVY stands behind the quality of its products. We assess structural issues such as stitching failures or hardware defects reported promptly after delivery. The following are not covered: damage from misuse, overloading, or exposure to water, chemicals, or extreme heat; natural wear including scuffs and colour fade from regular use; and damage caused by third-party repairs or alterations.
