Q: How should I care for Monogram canvas and leather trim?
A: To help preserve the bag, wipe the coated canvas gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh cleaning products. The leather trim and handle should be kept away from excessive moisture, oils, and prolonged direct sunlight, as these can deepen patina and show wear more quickly. When not in use, store the bag in a cool, dry place and avoid overfilling it so it keeps its shape.
