FAQ

I have spilt something on my VALK, it has now left a stain, how do I fix it?

To extend the life of your leather, use a leather conditioner when treating it. Always test a small area before you apply the conditioner to the entire product. Sometimes you can use a clean pink eraser and that should get rid of spots on most leather. Also, avoid extreme temperatures.

If you accidentally spill water on your leather, do not use a hairdryer to dry it out. As this will retract the moisture and cause it to crack. Instead, absorb as much of the water as possible with a microfiber cloth. Allow the bag to air dry.Use a damp cloth to wipe oil stains, if the stain persists, rub some baby powder onto the stain & use an old toothbrush to spread it.

Oily stains are the worst, so make sure your hands are clean when handling the bag. Do not use alcohol to clean the bag is this may discolor or damage the leather.Keep your leather away from chunky jewelry, sharp objects & surfaces.

Pay attention to the surfaces you lay your bag down on. In the case your bag develops small scratches, rub the oils into the bag using your finger as this will work into the leather.

For larger scratches and marks apply a tiny amount of oil to the mark, let it soak in for a few minutes and then wipe the excess away with a clean soft cloth.
