Maintenance, Warranty & Tips

Jewellery

  • No contact with water. Soap residues, chlorine and salt can remain on and in your jewelry, which eventually causes discoloration.
  • Do not allow your jewelry to come into direct contact with soap, perfume, make-up, body lotion, hairspray, etc.
  • Take off your jewelry when you are going to do heavy work or play sports. Sweat will affect your jewelry and it would be a shame to lose your jewelry.
  • Remove your jewelry when you go to sleep. Jewelry wears out faster and there is a chance that it will break during sleep.
  • It is best to store your jewelry in a dry and dark place. Also, put it away neatly to prevent the chance of knots.
  • Put your jewelry on last. You don't want it to get caught on something while changing.
  • Avoid putting too much pressure on elastic bracelets or chains. Put them on carefully so that the elastic remains stretched.
  • Be careful with chemical products. If you come into contact with chemicals, remove your jewelry. Also, do not wear it while cleaning.
  • Be careful with sunlight or the sunbed. Do not expose your jewelry to bright sunlight or the sunbed. This can cause your jewelry to discolor.
  • Wear your jewelry! Your jewelry stays beautiful when you wear it!
  • Finally: For our jewelry we use DQ (Designer Quality) metals or stainless steel. If the metal does discolour, you can polish it with a little silver polish! Your jewelry will be as good as new.

Leather bags

Leather is super strong. But keep in mind that leather is a natural product. You use your leather bag or other leather accessory in all weather conditions. Traces of use cannot be ruled out. Leather can become darker or lighter. And leather is sensitive to minor damage (for example) scratches or stains. In the beginning, leather can feel stiff. Over time, leather becomes more supple.

Leather can give off
Leather is a natural product and the leather is processed in colour shades. It can therefore sometimes happen that the leather gives off. One colour is more sensitive to this than another colour. Especially dark and bright colours. If the leather is new and treated or dyed, the paint layer can give off light on your clothing. Suede leather in particular can give off colour. Because suede is roughened leather and the fibres can still give off colour. Be careful with (light) clothing. Are you bothered by leather that gives off colour? A protection spray can help prevent stains.

Suede can release 'dust/lint'
 Suede is roughened leather. Our bags are fresh out of the packaging. It is possible that your bag still gives off some 'fibers'. If you go over it with the adhesive roller, you will no longer have any problems!

Care
With normal use, it is not necessary to treat your bag (extra) with care products. You can usually remove a stain by dabbing it with a damp cloth. Do not use a soaking wet cloth and do not rub, as this will damage (the colour of) the leather. Do you want to freshen up your bag after a while or treat a bald spot, for example? Then use care products for leather. Tip: you can touch up a bald spot with coloured leather care! Do not use care products on hairy leather.

Warranty
We offer a three-month warranty on our products. If you have an unexpected defect within three months, please send an email with photos of the product. We will then work together to find a suitable solution. vanMauZ is not liable for damage to personal property. For example, think of handing over bags to clothing.

Our unique leather (hairy animal print) bags are handmade from recycled and leftover leather. Occasionally there may be slight imperfections. Think of a spot, spot or unevenness. This contributes to the unique character of the bag and should not be considered a fault. This fits in with our concept to prevent waste. It gives your bag charm. PLEASE NOTE: Hair loss or wear of the hairy leather is not covered by the warranty. The hairy leather is a natural product and it is normal for the bag to show signs of use through hair loss. The hairy leather will last longer if you prevent chafing and friction when carrying your bag. The durability of the hairy leather is different for each bag and unpredictable.
