CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Prevention is the Key

Immune your bag! 

Using a protective spray should be the very first thing you do when you receive your bag: All bags, whether they are suede or leather, need to be protected with a water proofer before use (stay away from the oil based versions). Saben recommends Wrens Total Protector Spray, this is an invisible waterproofing spray for all smooth, suede and nubuck leathers. It can be purchased from your nearest Saben retailer, online or at any shoe repair store.

Reapply protector every 3-4 weeks to keep the leather soft and resilient. 

Wear with Care

NEVER overfill your handbag or evening bag, as this can put stress on seams, fastenings and straps and spoil the shape. Please try hard to keep the load reasonable.

Light leathers should be treated with extreme care – denim and dye can (and probably will) rub off on to the leather with no easy way of removing. Ensure your denim is colour fast.

White Handbags are extremely sensitive to light, and the leather will turn yellow if it is exposed for too long to spotlights, fluorescent lamps, etc.

Avoid handling your bag after applying foundation, perfume, body or hand creams, this will stain the leather.

Do not place your Saben bag on the floor, use a handbag hook. Any tough surfaces will possibly scratch the leather.

Wearing a bag often will inevitably result in rub marks, where the leather brushes against clothing etc. Saben recommends you swap your bags often to avoid constant rubbing and wear on one bag.

For stronger leathers (nappa or pull-up), moisturise your bag with a product like Wrens Delicate Gel. A mild yet effective cleaning gel, it cleans and nourishes all kinds of leather such as smooth, patent and metallic and gives a natural shine after buffing. Be sure to test any care products on a spot of the leather not easily visible e.g. Inside seam or pocket.

Always apply cleaning and protective product to a soft cloth, not directly on the bag. 

If you find you have stains that need removing Wrens Ultimate Cleanser is tough on stains and gentle on leather and its fibres, perfect for removing dirt and water stains.

Suede leather handbags should be regularly brushed with a soft suede brush. Minor stains and marks may be removed with a suede eraser. The leather should retain its colour and appearance if it is regularly treated with a water proofer. These preparations make the leather water repellent, and in particular, impart grease and dust repellence.

Suede that has been rain-marked should be allowed to dry naturally and then brushed up with a suede brush. For serious stains, it is best to see a professional. When storing suede, wrap leather handles or straps in cloth so they do not rest against the suede and leave blotches.

Leather does not like water. Wipe off a wet leather handbag immediately and let air dry. Never use a blow dryer to dry a bag.

If your bag has a chain handle, dirt may accumulate in the chain links causing it to come off on your shoulder. You can avoid this by cleaning the chain with a small tooth brush or the corner of a soft cloth. Always store the chain inside the bag to avoid any scratching or indentations on the leather.

Brass or silverware cleaner will keep your fittings looking shiny. Take care not to get any on the bag!

Keep fasteners and zips running smoothly by running pencil lead over the open teeth.

 

Storage

Do not hang bags in storage; they are best kept in the packing bag supplied with, lying flat or standing upright and stuffed.  

To help your bag keep its shape, it is best to stuff your bag with cloth or bubble wrap to keep it safe in storage. When not in use, store your bag out of direct sunlight and do not place light colours next to dark colours as this can cause colour migration, which is irreversible.

Take your bags out regularly and let them ‘breathe’ to prevent any dust and mildew forming.

A little TLC will ensure your handbag stays around for longer. 
Show your bags the love!

 

REPAIRS AND RETURNS

We will repair your handbag at no charge for the first 90 days after purchase.

If you purchased a bag from us on-line that requires repair, please contact us on 09 376 1007 or send an email to ponsonby@saben.co.nz.

If you purchased your bag from a retailer, please first try to contact them regarding your repair.

If there is a fault or issue with a bag we must first assess the repair either by photos or in person. As each individual bag is made by hand, from time to time faults occur in the manufacturing process. Saben bags are built for longevity and in an effort to make sustainable fashion – we always opt to repair first.

Our repair process follows a 3-step procedure:

1. If we can REPAIR the fault/damage we reserve the right to first REPAIR the bag.

2. If we can’t repair, the bag and we believe it is fault of manufacture we will REPLACEwith the same or similar bag.

3. If we can’t replace the item, we will REFUND.

Repairs are free for 90 days after the purchase date. Thereafter, we charge a repair fee which is based on the type of repair. To have a bag repaired you must first obtain a proof of purchase. Bags will not be accepted without a receipt.

Most repairs take between three and four weeks to complete, though some may be made faster and some might take longer. We try our darnedest to have your bag back to you as quickly as possible.

If for any reason you wish to return your order or a portion of it, please notify us within 7 days of receiving your order.We are happy to refund the full purchase price minus the cost of shipping of any item returned in its original condition after such notification.
