Care for a Suede Handbag

Suede leather is a very fragile material and sensitive to bad weather conditions.
 The term "suede" refers to skins tanned with fish oil  or velvety skins obtained by sanding.

It requires particular care :

1- Care :

Brush regularly. We propose two types of brushes. If the leather is thin and fragile, choose the Cleaning Sponge Suede SAPHIR to eliminate dust or superficial dirt. If it is more rustic, use the Brass Brush Saphir or Crepe Brush Wood Saphir. 
For regular care, use Rénovétine Saphir which cleans and waterproofs.

2- Stain-removing:

- Non greasy stains can be removed with OMNIDAIM and/or the Rubber for Suede Nubuck SAPHIR.
- If the stain is greasy Terre de Sommières AVEL will help you to absorb most of it (if it is dry, cover with an absorbant paper and warm up with an iron to take off the maximum). Use Stain Remover HUSSARD Spray Leather or Textile to eliminate residue of fresh still liquid greasy stains or sebum (greasy secretion of the skin).
- For water, salt, snow and transpiration stains, use the Stain-Remover hiver Winter SAPHIR  .

3- Protection :

- Regularly waterproof your handbag with Invulner Protector.

4- Renovation :

- If you want to brighten up the colour of your Suede handbag,  or modify it into a darker colour, Valmour recommends to use the various colours of Rénovétine SAPHIR Spray or Applicator.
