Care Guide
How to Care For Your Geometric Studded Sling
With the right care, your GM Leather bag will only grow more beautiful with time.
Leather | Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth after each use. For deeper cleaning, use a leather-specific cleaner and conditioner every 3–6 months to keep the pebble-grain supple and prevent drying or cracking. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, heat, or moisture.
Gold-Tone Hardware & Studs | Polish gently with a dry microfibre cloth to maintain their shine. Avoid contact with perfumes, oils, or harsh chemicals, which can dull the finish over time.
Woven Jacquard Strap | Spot clean only with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not machine wash or submerge. Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Storage | Store in a dust bag or pillowcase in a cool, dry place. Stuff lightly with tissue paper to help the bag retain its structured shape when not in use.
Avoid | Overfilling, sharp objects against the leather face, and prolonged contact with dark or dyed fabrics that may transfer colour.
