How to care for your Franchetti Bond products
Your Franchetti Bond pieces are made to last a lifetime. A little regular care keeps them looking their best. Find your material below for how to clean, store and protect it.
Dolloro leather
Dolloro leather has a protective coating that makes it naturally water and scratch resistant, built for the weather and daily wear. Wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove marks and dust. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and alcohol-based wipes, which wear down the finish over time.
Suede
Suede is porous, so treat it with a good water-repellent spray before its first outing. Lift surface oils and light scuffs with a suede brush or a clean rubber eraser, always brushing in one direction. Avoid water, which can stain permanently. Store gently stuffed to hold its shape, in its dust bag.
Raffia & canvas
Raffia and canvas are natural fibres that need a gentle touch. Dust with a soft brush or dry cloth, and use a good protecting spray for longevity. For spills, dab straight away with a slightly damp cloth and a very mild soap. Never soak the material, as excess water weakens the fibres and the shape.
Textured leather
Heat-stamping makes these textures naturally resistant to scratches, scuffs and light rain, ideal for everyday use. Wipe with a soft, damp cloth, then dry straight away with a clean towel so no moisture settles in the grooves. Avoid heavy waxes and thick creams, which build up in the pattern and dull the finish.
