Q: How should I care for Guccissima leather?
A: To help preserve the leather, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, heat and rain. If the bag gets wet, dry it promptly with a soft cloth. When not in use, store it in a dust bag and lightly fill it to help maintain its shape. Avoid overloading the bag, as heavy contents can affect the structure over time.
