Care
How should I care for my A.F.VANDEVORST leather goods?
Leather is a natural material and will develop its own character with wear. Variations in grain and texture are part of its nature rather than imperfections. We recommend protecting leather from excessive moisture, heat and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
How should I store my A.F.VANDEVORST bag?
Each bag is delivered in a protective dust bag. When not in use, we recommend storing the bag inside its dust bag, in a dry place and away from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Can small variations occur between products?
Yes. The natural characteristics of leather and the artisanal processes involved in production can result in subtle variations from one piece to another. These are inherent to the materials and craftsmanship that make each piece individual.
