Q: How should I care for this vintage Mahina leather bag?
A: Avoid commercial cleaners and contact with oils, perfume, cosmetics or hand sanitiser. Louis Vuitton recommends a soft cloth lightly dampened with water for surface stains on calfskin and cowhide leather; however, because this bag already has peeling leather, avoid rubbing affected areas and seek specialist advice before cleaning or treatment. Store it in a breathable protective bag in a ventilated place, away from heat, and do not over-pack it.

Q: Where was this bag made?
A: The supplied product information lists France as the country of origin. The recorded serial number is TH0048.
