How to care for your B Makowsky handbag?
B Makowsky handbags are designed to be long-lasting and use the finest quality leathers. To get the best enjoyment from your handbag here are some tips.

  • B Makowsky recommends the use of a leather conditioner for cleaning, protecting and polishing.
  • Do not use leather conditioners that contain oils as these sometimes trap dirt and may also stain the leather.
  • Grease and oil stains and ink marks, cannot be removed so are best left alone.
  • To remove surface dirt just wipe your bag with a soft, damp cloth.

How is the leather treated?
B Makowsky uses some of the best leathers available. The leather is drum dyed. Being dyed in a drum makes the leather soft and ensures that the color penetrates the skin. As a result the color is retained if the surface is scratched. Pebble leather is tumbled to obtain a textured surface.

I have a passion for handbags, too, and am looking for a new summer bag, possibly in red or aqua. (They also sell very well on E-bay...any designer bag!). I'm going to take a look at your links. Thanks!
