HOW DO I CARE FOR MY BRYNN CAPELLA HANDBAG?
Brynn Capella handbags are made of full grain leather. You may notice grain and slight variations of color. These are characteristics of fine leather and should not be taken as defects. Leather can spot and sometimes lose color, so please do treat your Brynn Capella with care. We include a specific Leather Care Product recommendation card in all of our handbag orders.

EXTRA CARE NOTES: Particular care is recommended for bright colors because bringing them in contact with lacquer, perfume, citric acid and anything containing alcohol or alcohol derivatives can cause damage. If you are typically hard on your bags or live in extreme weather conditions, weather protecting your bag is recommended. We offer leather care items, such as leather cream or dressing, leather spot cleaner and waterproofing spray if needed.
 
WHAT DO I DO ABOUT MY DENIM DYING THE LEATHER ON MY HANDBAG?
Color transfer can occur (especially on light colored leather), so think twice before pairing your new bag with your favorite pair of jeans, especially if it’s dark denim – we know how tricky that blue dye can be! Although this is very frustrating, there are products on the market today that may help with setting the dye in denim and other colored clothing. 


Helpful hint: We highly recommend using a leather protector on your bag before use. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to contact us at anytime.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO CLEAN MY BRYNN CAPELLA HANDBAG?
We suggest using a mild leather conditioner that is specifically designed to be used on handbags. Use a small sponge and rub the cream on the dirty area of the leather. There are many leather cleaner and conditioners that are combined into one product that will enhance the life of your natural unfinished leather handbag.
