Well cared for, a Jelly Firkin bag keeps its shine for years.
These tips apply to the translucent TPU bags. The opaque bags — Le Firkin in full-grain leather, Le Prestigieux in croc-embossed leather, Le Firkin PU, the Héritage — are cared for differently: see “Opaque bags” at the foot of this page.
Every day
- Wipe the material with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
- Air-dry, away from any direct heat source (radiator, hairdryer, prolonged full sun).
- Use no solvent, no acetone and no abrasive product: they dull the transparency.
If a mark appears
A stubborn mark usually lifts with a little warm soapy water (mild soap), applied with a cloth then rinsed. Dry immediately.
Storage
Store the bag filled with tissue paper so it keeps its shape, in its case, away from direct light. Avoid crushing it under other objects.
Your charms
Leather charms do not like prolonged damp: wipe gently with a dry cloth and remove them before rain or the pool. Like all leather, they develop a patina over time — that is normal, and it is what makes them yours.
Opaque bags
- Le Firkin in full-grain leather: a soft, dry cloth. Feed the leather twice a year. Keep away from water and direct sun. Same care for Le Prestigieux, in croc-embossed leather.
- Le Firkin PU (faux leather), a synthetic material containing no leather: a soft, lightly damp cloth is enough. No cream, no solvent, no heat source.
- The Héritage, in premium-quality PU: a soft, slightly damp cloth. Air dry, away from heat.
