Each Dragon Diffusion bag is handwoven, resulting in unique variations in color and texture. These characteristics are not flaws, but a testament to the handmade quality and natural materials used.
Refrain from carrying excessively heavy items to prevent deforming the bag’s shape. For example, if you use your bag to transform a computer, tablet and book, the bag is likely to be damaged more quickly and leather strips may come off.
Cleaning Your Bag
Use a soft cloth to regularly clean your bag. Gently wipe the surface to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using water or rubbing the leather vigorously.
If your bag gets wet, blot the water away immediately with a soft, dry cloth. Never immerse the leather in water or use artificial heat sources like radiators or hairdryers to dry it. Allow the bag to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area.
Preventing and Handling Stains
For minor stains, use a slightly damp cloth to dab the area gently. Avoid using chemical cleaners or harsh substances that can damage the leather. For ink stains or severe damage, it’s best to consult a professional leather specialist.
Natural dyes used in Dragon bags may bleed initially, especially with dark colors or in high humidity. To help set the dye, leave your bag in sunlight for several hours. As the dyes are natural, it may take some time for them to stop bleeding. Over time and some use, the bags will develop a special used patina that in fact enhances the feel and look of your Dragon Bag.
Storage Recommendations
Always store your bag in a dust bag when not in use. This allows air circulation and prevents mildew. Ensure the dust bag is soft and does not scratch the leather.
Stuff your bag with tissue paper or the original packaging to help it maintain its shape. Avoid overstuffing to prevent deforming the leather.
Store your bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, radiators, and excessive changes in temperature. High humidity can cause the leather to absorb moisture and develop mold.
Long-Term Maintenance
To keep the leather hydrated and supple, use a leather conditioner periodically. Apply a small amount on a soft cloth and gently rub it onto the leather. Avoid products with harsh chemicals.
Over time, your Dragon Diffusion bag will develop a natural patina, enhancing its appearance and feel. This aging process is a sign of quality and character in traditionally crafted leather goods.
For significant damage or persistent stains, we recommend consulting a professional leather specialist or cobbler. They have the expertise and tools to restore your bag without causing further harm.
