A.P.C. handbag care guide

Leather has been a fundamental element of the A.P.C. collections for over 35 years. As the raw material for our iconic bags and small goods, it requires special care to maintain its condition and age beautifully. We advise you to store your leather items in the dustbag to protect them and avoid the use of hand sanitizer when handling as it can damage the leather. These tips are also relevant for models made from recycled materials, such as Ninon bags, for example.
