Q: Is Clemence leather waterproof, and can I pack liquids inside?
A: Do not treat this leather vanity case as waterproof or leakproof. Hermès advises protecting leather from water, oils, perfume and cosmetics. Pack liquids in securely closed containers within a separate leakproof pouch. If water touches the leather, wipe it promptly with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Q: How should I clean and store this vintage Hermès bag?
A: Gently remove surface dust with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid commercial leather-care products and seek advice from Hermès after-sales service for cleaning or stains. Store it in a dry, temperate place away from sunlight and heat, ideally in a suitable dust cover. Lightly fill it with tissue paper to support its shape, without stretching or overloading it.
