    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?

    Yes, we are pleased to offer free shipping within South Africa for all orders. Once your jewelry is on its way, we will send you a tracking number so you can follow its journey to your doorstep.
