How is your jewelry made?
Each Elena Mercer bag is crafted with precision and care. We use high-quality leather, solid hardware and hand-finished edges, with close attention to every detail. Our timeless designs are made to last for years, and every bag is carefully inspected before it leaves our workshop.
How should I care for my bag?
To keep your leather bag looking its best:
- Keep dry: Avoid rain and spills. If it gets wet, blot (don’t rub) and let it air-dry away from heat.
- Avoid lotions & perfumes: Oils, hand sanitisers and fragrances can stain leather.
- Clean gently: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper care, use a neutral leather cream sparingly.
- Store smart: Keep in a cool, dry place inside the dust bag, stuffed lightly to hold its shape.
- No overfilling: Prevent stretching and stress on straps and seams.
- Mind the sun & heat: Prolonged exposure can fade or dry the leather.
- Hardware care: Wipe metal parts after use to reduce tarnish.
- Colour transfer: Be cautious with dark denim or fresh dyes.
If you’ve got any questions about leather care, contact us — we’re here to help.
Do you offer free shipping?
