Ask Dior or a specialist handbag cleaner to assess the stain, discolouration and fraying before any treatment; removal or restoration cannot be guaranteed. When not in use, keep the bag in its dust bag away from direct sunlight and damp conditions, with gentle support inside to help preserve its shape.
