Q: Any special care tips for a white caviar bag?
A: Avoid prolonged contact with dark denim and dyed fabrics to minimise colour transfer. After use, gently wipe with a soft, dry, colourfast cloth, then store the bag loosely stuffed in a breathable dust bag away from direct sunlight and heat.

A: Caviar tolerates light, incidental contact better than smoother leathers, but it is not waterproof. If the bag gets wet, blot gently with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally, away from heat sources.
