The Classic Love

Your JOSEFIN C. handbag/clutch was crafted in accordance with the finest leather-working traditions, with meticulous attention paid to every single detail. Each handbag/clutch is unique.

THIS IS A LUXURY ITEM AND, AS SUCH, REQUIRES THE BEST CARE.

• Be gentle with your handbag/clutch; never overload it to ensure it keeps its lovely shape year after year.
• Do not expose the leather to sunlight or humidity for extended periods of time; avoid contact with makeup, perfume or any other chemical substances.
• If your handbag/clutch gets wet. Gently pat it dry with an absorbent cloth that does not pill. Refrain from rubbing, as this can alter the color of the leather.
• When not in use, keep your handbag in its storage pouch, in an upright position if possible. For ideal storage conditions, fill the bag with tissue paper, wrap the straps with tissue paper and place them inside so that they do not mark the leather.
• You may polish any metal parts with a dry chamois. The use of chemical-based cleaning products risks altering the finish of any metal parts.

PLEASE FOLLOW THE RECOMMEDATIONS BELOW FOR SPECIFIC TYPES OF MATERIAL THAT CAN BE FOUND ON THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR LEATHER PRODUCT: 

LAMBSKIN: This leather is known for its exceptional softness. In order to maintain its natural suppleness, our lambskin is deliberately given the minimum protective treatment possible. Over time, it will gain a soft patina. This type of leather is sensitive to moisture and repeated rubbing.

Every love story needs tenderness and care to stand the test of time. Jewelry is by nature delicate. Show your treasured pieces some love and they will reward you with their pleasures longer.

EVERYDAY CARE - STORAGE AND WEAR

* Store your precious piece in a jewelry box.
* Never force or pull chains. When in storage, arrange chains in loop shapes to avoid damage.
* After each use, gently wipe every piece with a soft cloth to remove any make-up residue or oils from your skin. Go easy – excessive polishing might rub off the plating.
* Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool, sauna or steam room.
* Don’t sleep with your jewelry on.

WATER AND CHEMICAL INTERACTIONS

* Water and chemicals found in everyday products may damage the surface. Always take jewelry off before washing your hands, bathing, showering or doing household work.
* Add your jewelry as the last step of your beauty routine. Hairspray, perfume, soap, make-up, oils and lotions may all dull the surface.

MAINTENANCE

* Just like any other wardrobe item, jewelry needs maintenance to keep in mint condition. Check locks and clasps regularly.
* It is natural for the layers of gold plating to gradually wear off, but by following our care tips you can slow down the process. You might at some point want to get a new layer of gold plating. If so, get in touch with us.

GET TO KNOW OUR MATERIALS

* Our collections consist of precious metals (Rhodium plated, 18K Gold plated and 18K Rose gold plated on sterling silver) You should be aware that metal may darken or tarnish with normal wear.
* Excessive light, heat or moisture may compromise the quality of the gemstones and of the plating. The colour of some gemstones may fade with prolonged exposure to the sun. Avoid the risk of summertime sadness by saving your jewelry for evenings or the shade.
* Because most of the stones and pearls used in our collections are natural gemstones and seashell pearls, they will vary in shape, size and colour. Inclusions may be seen in some natural stones and are part of their beauty.
* Pearls may loose their lustre when exposed to products like soaps and perfumes. Pearls and most gemstones are delicate and special care should be taken when cleaning with chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners.
* Silver may oxidise and darken from contact with the natural salts and minerals on your skin. Special jewelry shops sell silver polish dips that can bring back the shine to your jewelry.
