Maintaining the Glam : Caring for Your Luxury Clutch
A luxury clutch isn’t just a functional accessory—it's an extension of your style and a symbol of timeless elegance. Whether you're carrying a Simitri evening bag adorned with delicate embellishments or another designer piece, these handcrafted treasures deserve special care to preserve their beauty and sophistication. We, at Simitri, pour our hearts into every piece we create, and we want to help you keep them looking as stunning as the day you first fell in love with them.
Understanding the Craftsmanship Behind Your Luxury Clutch
Simitri’s designer evening bags are handcrafted without the use of animal products, embracing mindfully-sourced, cruelty-free materials. Our artisanal approach not only sets Simitri apart, but also demands careful maintenance to keep the bags in pristine condition. It doesn't just result in stunning aesthetics – it creates heritage items designed to stand the test of time.
How to Care for Your Clutch?
1. Storage Matters
When your clutch isn't stealing the show at your latest event, tuck it away in its dust bag. Think of it as a cozy little bed that keeps your bag safe from scratches and color transfer. Avoid placing your clutch on rough surfaces to minimize the risk of damage.
2. Spot Cleaning
Given the fine fabrics and embellishments used in Simitri’s clutches, it’s crucial to be cautious of where you place your bag. If your clutch does get stained, it's best to act quickly. Use a soft, damp cloth to gently dab the affected area. For tougher stains, consider consulting a professional cleaner who specializes in luxury items. For smaller stains, spot cleaning is often sufficient.
3. Avoid Overstuffing
We know it's tempting to stuff your whole life into our bags (they're pretty roomy for clutches!), but try to resist. All our clutches can fit a mobile phone, cards, keys and your favourite lipstick. Our newer styles like Bucket Bags and Trapezee Bags are roomier for those who like bringing a little more.
With all Simitri clutches and handbags, you never have to worry about the shape or handles overstretching, as these clutches are well-structured. We also use metallic chains or handcrafted fabric handles that do not strain.
However, even our sturdiest designs, like our popular briefcase bags, can lose their magnetic closure if they're overfilled. Limit yourself to the essentials (phone, keys, cards and a lip gloss) to enjoy them for years to come.
4. Handle with Care
When using your clutch, be mindful of where you place it. Avoid setting it down on tables or surfaces that could transfer stains or snag the embellishments. If you need to put it down, make sure the surface is not wet or oily, or consider using a napkin as a barrier.
A Timeless Treasure
Caring for your luxury clutch is like pampering a little piece of couture heaven. With proper storage, mindful handling, and a dash of TLC, your designer evening bag will continue to shine bright, turning heads and sparking conversations wherever you go. Simitri's commitment to craftsmanship means that with the right care, your evening bag can remain a cherished accessory for years. Remember, a well-cared-for clutch is not just a bag; it’s a statement piece that reflects your unique style.
