Costa Small – Chalk

An open, easy tote cut from cowhide leather, roomy enough for the whole day without looking like it. Quietly made and finished simply, it pairs with everything.

Cowhide Leather

Every Valentina bag is made to last. A little care keeps the leather looking its best for years.

Everyday care

• Wipe your bag with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust and marks.
• Keep it away from direct heat and long periods in strong sunlight, which can dry and fade leather.
• Avoid contact with oils, perfume, make-up, hand cream and alcohol-based products.
• Light-coloured leather can pick up colour from dark denim and newly dyed clothing.

If your bag gets wet

• Gently blot (don't rub) the leather with a clean, dry cloth straight away.
• Fill the bag loosely with clean paper so it keeps its shape.
• Let it dry naturally at room temperature. Never use a hairdryer, heater or direct sun.
• Once fully dry, buff lightly with a soft cloth.

Stains and conditioning

• Never use household cleaners, wet wipes, solvents or abrasive materials.
• Every few months, apply a small amount of colourless leather conditioner made for smooth leather. Test it on a hidden area first.
• Suede and nubuck should only be cleaned with a soft suede brush. Do not use conditioner on them.
• For heavy stains, take your bag to a professional leather specialist.

Storage

• Store your bag in its dust bag, in a cool, dry place.
• Fill it with paper to hold its shape, and keep the strap or handles relaxed.
• Don't store it in plastic, as leather needs to breathe.
• Don't hang it by its strap for long periods.
