Care Instructions

Care for Your Bag

Store your bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Use light tissue stuffing to maintain its shape and keep it in its dust bag when not in use. Avoid water, oils, perfumes, and cosmetics.

If smooth or pebbled leather gets wet, gently blot with a soft cloth and allow it to dry naturally. Do not rub or use artificial heat. Suede requires suede-specific care; avoid creams or conditioners intended for smooth leather. Follow the selected item’s material guidance and test any suitable care product in an inconspicuous area.

One-Year Limited Warranty

Eligible handbags and small leather goods are covered for manufacturing defects for one year from the original purchase date, subject to the warranty’s terms and exclusions. Normal wear, accidental damage, and improper care are excluded. Contact customercare@almavaren.com with proof of purchase and clear photos to request a review. See our Help Center for full warranty terms.

Customer reviews

Tracey — ★★★★★

“Absolutely love this bag. So comfortable to wear and fits a lot in it. I’ve been thinking about buying this bag for a long time and so glad I did. I want to buy it in another colour now.”

Margarita — ★★★★★

“Love it!”

Nana — ★★★★★

“Great quality. Just as I imagine.”

Rayna G. — ★★★★☆

“This bag is absolutely gorgeous!! I got it in burgundy. A glorious fall color. It’s very spacious and will held everything I need it to. The leather is buttery soft. I deducted one star only because in the burgundy photo it appeared to be slightly more structured than what it actually is. However, it’s stunning. The shoulder strap is a good length and will work with a light/medium weight coat/jacket. Highly recommend this bad. I’ll probably get it in another color.”
