Tips to keep your Keecie looking beautiful

This way you will enjoy your bag for years to come. At Keecie we only use sustainable Italian leather that is treated in such a way that it requires almost no maintenance. However, there are a few things you should take into account.

THREE TYPES OF LEATHER

You can choose the Keecie bags, wallets and accessories in three types of leather:

  • USED LOOK This includes the colours Moss, Cognac and Dark Brown. This leather is called Used Look because you will get a patina, as it is so beautifully called, on this leather faster. Through use, the leather comes to life and will quickly become supple and get a beautiful weathered look.
  • THROUGH AND THROUGH DYED LEATHER This includes the colours Faded blue, Aubergine, Yellow, Soft Pink, Dusty Green, Ink Blue, Forest, Cement, Black and Coral. This leather is completely dyed, not just the top layer. Important for all Keecie products, because this is how our print really stands out.
  • SILVER AND GOLD LEATHER This is leather with a foil layer in silver or gold, which has been pressed onto it using a heat press.

THROUGH-DYED LEATHER

Soft Pink, Cement, Coral, Faded Blue, Ink Blue, Aubergine, Yellow, Forest or Dusty Green

If your bag or wallet has a stain or has become a bit dirty from use, it is best to wet a cloth and put a little soft soap on it, such as Green Soap. Rub the wrung-out wet cloth gently in circular motions over the spot.

Please note: never press hard on one spot.

MAINTENANCE HEAT AND SUNLIGHT

Keep your leather Keecie item away from direct sunlight and heat sources as much as possible. This can cause discolouration.

WATER

In principle, our bags can withstand rain very well. The water will run off your bag. If your leather bag got wet from a bottle of water that was not closed properly, let it dry upside down. You can put wads of kitchen roll in it. Do not put the bag near a heater, as you may get streaks from the water.

INSIDE

Because your Keecie bag has no lining, the inside of your bag is also made of leather. If you want to clean the inside of the bag, you can use a damp cloth. You can also just go over the screen print as long as you don't rub too hard.

I myself vacuum my bag every now and then. Definitely recommended, because then you can empty your bag completely and tidy it up at the same time. PEN STAIN

Do you have an item of colored leather and an ink stain from a pen? You can rub it away with a magic sponge. But don't rub too hard. Items of Used Look leather can't handle this. Also be careful with your dark jeans. They can leave marks on the Used Look leather.

SCRATCH

If there is a scratch on your Used Look leather bag that you would like to remove, you can do so with a hair dryer. Because the leather is treated with paraffin, the scratches will melt due to the heat of the hair dryer.

REPAIR

We attach great importance to sustainability and want you to enjoy your Keecie for years to come. We take this into account when designing, but also when choosing our zippers and snaps. If something does break, please contact us. We will then ensure that it is repaired free of charge so that your item is as good as new again.

If you have any questions, you can always send an email to info@keecie.nl. Preferably with a photo so we can help you better.
