      How can I take care of my LANCEL leather product?
      In order to preserve the beauty of your LANCEL leather model, we invite you to protect your bag from any contact with water, chemicals or substances such as solvents, oils, make-up or perfumes which can damage leather. Please avoid extended exposure to sunlight and direct heat sources to help preserve the radiance of its color and avoid waterproofing treatment.

      We suggest that you polish your bag from time to time with a leather care lotion, such as our “Crème Essentielle pour cuirs de LANCEL” or a similar product. Apply the leather lotion to a cotton cloth and gently work it into the leather. Let it dry, then polish.
      In case you use a shoe polish, we recommend that you use a neutral one in order to avoid any color transfer onto your clothes.
