Q: How should I care for Intrecciato leather and the suede lining?
A: Keep the bag away from prolonged direct sunlight, heat and rain. If it becomes damp, dry it promptly with a soft cloth. Store it lightly stuffed in a breathable dust bag, avoid overfilling, and keep it away from rough surfaces, oils, perfumes and dark fabrics that may transfer colour.

Q: Is this a good everyday bag?
A: Yes. Its shoulder-carry design and roomy proportions make it a practical option for daily use. As with any vintage woven leather bag, it is best suited to mindful everyday wear rather than heavy loads or rough handling.
