👜 How to Care for Your TENERA Handbag
-
Avoid Long-Term Exposure to Sunlight
Prolonged UV exposure may cause natural materials to fade or become brittle over time.
-
Keep Away from Excessive Moisture
Although our bags are durable, they’re not designed for heavy rain. Use a dry cloth to gently pat off water if wet.
-
Store Properly When Not in Use
Stuff your bag with clean paper or fabric and store it in a dust bag to maintain its shape and prevent deformation.
-
Wipe Clean with a Soft Cloth Only
Use a damp microfiber cloth for routine cleaning—no need for alcohol or chemical cleaners that may harm the surface.
-
Avoid Sharp or Friction-Prone Surfaces
Dragging your bag on rough walls, denim, or Velcro can cause pilling or surface wear.
⚠️ What Can Damage Plant-Based Leather?
-
Direct contact with oil (e.g. sunscreen, lotion)
-
Heavy rubbing against denim or coarse fabrics
-
Exposure to strong cleaning agents or perfume
-
Long-term placement under heavy objects
