Q: How should I care for and store this vintage weekend bag?
A: Avoid contact with oils, alcohol-based products and harsh cleaning chemicals. For material-specific cleaning or treatment of the existing verdigris, seek specialist advice rather than applying household remedies. Store the bag lightly filled to support its shape, in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid prolonged storage hanging by the handles.
