The leather used in most Dooney & Bourke merchandise is both water
repellent and generally scratch resistant. However, some leathers
may become discolored when wet, returning to their original colors
once completely dry.
Soiled leather can usually be cleaned with the use of a slightly
water dampened soft cotton cloth and a mild bar soap applied in a circular
motion. This should be repeated with water only to ensure no residual soap remains. The leather should then be allowed to dry completely.
Anything containing dyes (ball point pens, lipsticks, etc.) cannot be removed as they will re-dye the surface.
Vacchetta Leather
The pale tan Vacchetta Leather used in Dooney & Bourke merchandise is untreated.
This "naked" leather will naturally darken over time with use and exposure to light.

The Suede and
Nubuk used in most Dooney & Bourke
merchandise has been treated for general water repellency, but may absorb
water under certain circumstances. If this happens, a dry cloth should
be used to blot the excess liquid and the material should be allowed to
dry thoroughly. Once dry, a suede brush should be used to gently lift
the nap.
Due to the unique texture or nap (raised fibers; longer and fuzzier on
suede bags), some consideration should be given when using during
inclement weather. In addition, care should also be taken as to where
these particular handbags are stored when not in use. This consideration
will keep the soil on the bottom to a minimum and maintain the optimal
beauty of the handbag.
NOTE:
These instructions may differ according to material and trim.

the fabric becomes wet,
blot with a dry white or light colored cloth and allow to dry completely.

water can be substituted) dampened cloth or soft toothbrush applied in a
gentle circular motion. This should be repeated with water only to ensure no residual soap remains. The fabric should then be allowed to dry completely.
Oily spots should first be wiped free of excess liquid. Talcum powder
should then be sprinkled on the area and allowed to sit briefly. With a
dry toothbrush, gently brush away powder to alleviate the soil.

Dooney & Bourke has produced several totes, carry-alls, travel pieces and
other accessories in Plastic. All are water repellent, resistant to most scratches and may repel surface dirt.
If any Plastic merchandise gets something sticky or greasy on it, a mild soap and water dampened cloth applied in a
ciruclar motion should remove the grime. Next, remove all traces of soap from the cloth and wipe the bag down to rinse
away any residual soap film. Some scuff marks may be removed with the use of a soft white eraser used in a gentle
circular motion, with only the slightest amount of pressure, so as not to dull the clear finish.
No creams, polishes or leather conditioning products should be used on the Vacchetta Leather trim and handles. Please
note that it is a natural characteristic of Vacchetta Leather to darken over time with use and exposure to light.
NOTE: These instructions cover all plastic Dooney & Bourke products.
Please keep in mind that variations in trim should not necessarilly be treated in this manner. |
