Evening Bag

All our bags and belts are made on-demand, and it takes approximately 8-10 weeks to complete and ship an order. In the event that your order is ready earlier than expected, we will notify you by email.

This is an extract from our care guide, which we invite you to read to take better care of your RESPECT bag.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS

Each RESPECT bag is handwoven, resulting in unique variations in color and texture. These characteristics are not flaws but a testament to the handmade quality and natural materials used.

AVOID HEAVY LOADS

Refrain from carrying excessively heavy items to prevent deforming the bag’s shape. For example, if you use your bag to transform a computer, tablet and book, the bag is likely to be damaged more quickly and leather strips may come off.

DEALING WITH MOISTURE

If your bag gets wet, blot the water away immediately with a soft, dry cloth. Never immerse the leather in water or use artificial heat sources like radiators or hairdryers to dry it. Allow the bag to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area.

NATURAL DYE BLEEDING

Natural dyes used in our bags may bleed initially, especially with dark colors or in high humidity. To help set the dye, leave your bag in sunlight for a couple of hours. As the dyes are natural, it may take some time for them to stop bleeding. Over time and some use, the bags will develop a special used patina that in fact enhances the feel and look of your RESPECT bag.

PROTECTIVE STORAGE

Always store your bag in a dust bag when not in use. This allows air circulation and prevents mildew. Ensure the dust bag is soft and does not scratch the leather.

Only the brand references have been changed; the rest of the source content is preserved.
