Suede easily absorbs moisture, so be careful not to expose it to moisture, and be careful not to contact it with water, oil, perfume, cosmetics, etc. to maintain its quality. Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent fading and drying.

Do avoid overloading to prevent wrinkles or deformation, and fill it with soft paper or cloth when not in use to maintain its shape. Store it in a dust bag to protect it from dust and sunlight.

Gently wipe it with a suede brush or soft-bristle brush to remove dust and restore the texture of the suede. Use a suede eraser to remove light stains and scratches. If the product has deep stains, discoloration, or severe wear, it is recommended to consult a specialist.
