How to Care for Your Suede Bag
Amara is crafted in Turkey from genuine leather with a nubuck suede finish. A gentle routine helps care for its soft surface, leather ties and gold-tone details.
How to care for a nubuck suede bag
Keep your bag away from rain, oils, perfume and cosmetics. Let hand cream dry before handling it, and avoid setting it on damp or abrasive surfaces. Be mindful of contact with dark denim or other fabrics that may transfer dye, especially when carrying Oat.
Brush gently when the bag is dry
For light surface dust, use a clean, soft brush made for suede and nubuck. Test a discreet area first, then brush with light strokes in the direction of the nap. Avoid forceful scrubbing, which can change the finish.
What to do if your suede bag gets wet
Blot moisture with a clean, dry, white cloth without rubbing. Allow the bag to air-dry at room temperature, away from sunlight, radiators and hair dryers. Do not brush wet suede or soak the bag.
Stains and care products
Avoid household cleaners, alcohol, oils and creams intended for smooth leather. They can darken or alter a nubuck suede finish. For oil, ink or a persistent stain, consult a professional who works with suede and nubuck rather than trying home remedies.
Before applying a protector or cleaner, confirm that it is suitable for this specific finish and test it in a hidden area. A product labeled for leather is not necessarily suitable for suede or nubuck. Contact us if you are unsure.
Store Amara with care
Empty the bag between uses and lightly support its shape with clean, unprinted tissue. Store it in a breathable dust bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid tightly packing or hanging a full bag by its handles. Keep the removable strap loosely arranged rather than sharply folded.
Gold-tone hardware and leather ties
Gently wipe the hardware with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive polish and chemical cleaners. Handle the side leather ties gently; use the bag's zipper to open and close the main compartment.
Understanding the finish
The direction of the nap can make nubuck suede appear lighter or darker as it catches the light. If you notice a mark that does not lift with gentle care, contact RANI with a clear photo before using a treatment.
