Care & Maintenance Guide

At Bobo Bags, each piece is handcrafted with love and natural materials. With the right care, your bag will age beautifully and last for years to come.

Cane & Wicker Structure

Keep away from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause the cane to dry out and crack.
Avoid soaking in water. If wet, allow to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area never use a hairdryer or direct heat.
To clean, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth and allow to dry completely.
To maintain flexibility, lightly mist the cane with water occasionally in dry climates to prevent brittleness.
Store in a cool, dry place away from humidity to prevent mould or warping.

Leather Handles & Trims

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust and moisture.
Condition the leather every 1–2 months with a natural leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking.
Avoid contact with water, oils, perfumes, and alcohol-based products.
If the leather gets wet, blot gently with a dry cloth and allow to air dry naturally never wring or squeeze.
Store away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and drying out.
