CARE GUIDE

Every AMASOUK piece is crafted to be lived with, traveled with, and treasured over time. Handwoven by global artisans using traditional techniques and natural materials, our bags carry the character of the hands and heritage behind them. Thoughtful care helps preserve their beauty, texture, and integrity for years to come—allowing each piece to age gracefully and continue its story alongside yours.

CARING FOR ARTISAN BAGS FROM MOROCCO

Handcrafted by Moroccan artisans using traditional leatherworking techniques, handbags from the Morocco Collection are designed to last a lifetime. Made from natural leather selected for its richness, strength, and character, each piece is intended to soften and evolve beautifully with time and use. As the leather ages, it develops a unique patina—subtle variations in tone and texture that reflect the journey of the bag and the life lived alongside it.

You can keep your bag looking fresh by following these simple guidelines:

  • Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dirt or debris.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, as that will cause the leather to dry out more quickly.
  • You may notice that the leather at the corners of some bags may become dry more quickly. Give your bag a little TLC with a small dab of leather conditioner.

CARING FOR ARTISAN BAGS FROM MEXICO

Our handwoven handbags from the Mexico Collection are crafted to be cherished for years to come. Made from traditional Zapotec wool tapetes and finished with leather details, each piece carries the beauty and integrity of natural materials—designed to soften, evolve, and age gracefully over time.

You can keep your bag looking its best by following these simple care guidelines:

  • Wool naturally repels moisture, dust, and debris, making it remarkably durable for everyday use. For regular upkeep, gently brush the textile with a cashmere or soft garment brush to refresh the fibers and remove surface particles.
  • Spot clean carefully with a soft, dry cloth when needed. Avoid excessive rubbing or saturating the wool.
  • Never place your handbag in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage both the handwoven wool and leather components.
  • For more thorough, occasional cleaning, we recommend working with a trusted eco-friendly dry cleaner experienced in caring for natural fibers and artisan textiles.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, which may cause the leather to dry or the natural dyes to fade more quickly over time.

CARING FOR ARTISAN BAGS FROM JAPAN

Crafted from vegetable-tanned, pit-tanned leather using time-honored Japanese tanning techniques, handbags from the Japan Collection are designed to grow more beautiful with age. Unlike heavily processed leathers, veg-tanned leather retains the integrity and character of the natural hide, allowing it to develop a rich patina over time—a subtle record of the places it travels and the life lived alongside it.

The pit-tanning process, which slowly transforms the leather over the course of many months, creates exceptional depth, durability, and texture. As a natural material, this leather is meant to evolve: softening slightly with use, deepening in tone, and acquiring a quiet individuality unique to each piece.

You can keep your bag looking its best by following these simple care guidelines:

  • Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dirt or debris.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat, as this may cause the leather to dry out more quickly over time.
  • You may notice that the leather at the corners of some bags becomes dry sooner with regular wear. To maintain suppleness, apply a small amount of leather conditioner as needed.
