Setup/Care

Because rubber will fade in time, the bags have been treated with a UV sunscreen. However, try and keep your product out of hot direct sunlight. When needed simply wipe with a soft cloth. Headliner fabric for automobiles is ideal, and can be purchased at most fabric stores. We don't recommend using a tire, rubber or vinyl protectant on your handbag as this might leave a film and could come off on your clothing.
