Consider the material<\/strong><\/div>\n<div class=\"pt-lg-5 pt-4 pb-4 pb-lg-5 crypt-sub m-0\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"mt-3\">If the outer leather of your bag requires cleaning, opt for a lint-free microfiber cloth. Leather care here is key! However, when dealing with a bag crafted from unique materials like crocodile skin, exercise added caution during cleaning. For dirt that accumulates in hard-to-access crevices, a gentle brush can help dislodge it.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3\"><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">2. Avoid Commercial Cleaning Products<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pt-lg-5 pt-4 pb-4 pb-lg-5 crypt-sub m-0\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"mt-3\">\n<p>There are a few options for cleaning and safeguarding your luxury handbag. Regardless of how persistent the dirt might be, if you're unable to successfully remove dirt on your own, it might be necessary to take your Kelly bag to a nearby handbag spa.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mt-3\">Gently wipe with a dry cloth to remove dirt or debris, taking care to avoid over-dampening the leather due to excess moisture damage risks.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3\"><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">3. Store The Kelly bag Properly<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pt-lg-5 pt-4 pb-4 pb-lg-5 crypt-sub m-0\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"mt-3\">Keep it in a dust-proof cover when not in use and steer it clear of direct sunlight for long periods. Be mindful of sharp objects, such as pencils or knives, which can damage your bag.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3\"><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">4. Check Constantly For Wear-and-tear Signs<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pt-lg-5 pt-4 pb-4 pb-lg-5 crypt-sub m-0\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"mt-3\">After each use, check for signs of wear on straps and handles by ensuring no fraying occurs along the edges and that all hardware is still securely mounted.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3\"><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">5. Fend Off Contact With Liquids<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pt-lg-5 pt-4 pb-4 pb-lg-5 crypt-sub m-0\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"mt-3\">Water, oils, or perfumes can cause discoloration if left untreated after accidental spills. Immediately blot out any spills using a white cotton towel before proceeding with further cleaning.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-3\"><strong style=\"font-size: 16px;\">6. Seek Professional Help<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pt-lg-5 pt-4 pb-4 pb-lg-5 crypt-sub m-0\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"mt-3\">Opt for professional servicing offered by Herm\u00e8s outlets whenever possible.
