Care Guide

At Affluence Avenue, we believe proper care preserves the beauty, longevity, and value of luxury items. The following guidelines are provided to help clients maintain their purchases in the best possible condition.

General Care Recommendations

Store items in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat.
Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, perfumes, oils, and cosmetics.
Always handle with clean, dry hands.
Use original dust bags or a breathable fabric dust bag when storing.

Leather Goods

Luxury leathers are natural materials and may develop character over time.

Recommended Care:

Avoid contact with water or excessive humidity.
Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use.
Do not overfill bags, as this may cause stretching or distortion.
Allow leather to rest between uses to maintain structure.

Important Notes:

Color transfer may occur when lighter leathers come into contact with dark fabrics.
Minor creasing and softening are normal with use and are not considered defects.

Structured Bags

Use bag inserts or stuffing to help maintain shape during storage.
Store upright when possible to prevent slouching or warping.
Avoid stacking heavy items on top of structured bags.

Hardware

Hardware may naturally show light wear over time.
Avoid contact with liquids, chemicals, or abrasive surfaces.
Gently wipe hardware with a soft, dry cloth to remove fingerprints or residue.

Jewelry & Accessories

Store jewelry separately to avoid scratching.
Avoid contact with water, perfumes, and lotions.
Clean gently with a soft cloth after wear.

Travel & Daily Use

Be mindful of surfaces when placing bags down.
Avoid overexposure to rain or extreme temperatures.
When traveling, use protective dust bags and structured inserts when possible.

Professional Care

Affluence Avenue does not provide cleaning or restoration services.

For professional care or repairs, we recommend consulting a reputable luxury leather specialist or brand-authorized service provider.

Final Note

Natural variations, light wear, and patina are part of owning pre-owned luxury items and contribute to their unique character. Proper care helps preserve both beauty and value over time.
