Caring for Your Sassy Dee Sashin' Bag

Thank you for choosing Sassy Dee Sashin'!

Your bag was thoughtfully designed for the way women really live—busy days, weekend adventures, travel, work, and everything in between. With a little routine care, your bag can continue to look beautiful and serve you well for years to come.

Different materials and lifestyles require different levels of care, so we've put together this guide to help you keep your bag looking its best.

General Care Tips
Regardless of the material, a few simple habits can help extend the life of your bag.

  • Store your bag in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which may cause fading or discoloration over time.
  • Clean spills as soon as possible.
  • Avoid overloading your bag with excessive weight.
  • Avoid placing your bag on rough or abrasive surfaces whenever possible.
  • Test any cleaning or conditioning product on a small, hidden area before treating the entire bag.
  • Keep your bag away from harsh chemicals, perfumes, oils, and solvents.

Genuine Leather Care
Our Genuine Leather Collection is crafted from top-grain genuine lambskin leather that is naturally soft, lightweight, and beautiful.

Because genuine leather is a natural material, it will develop character over time. Proper care will help preserve its softness and appearance.

We Recommend
Treat your leather bag with Leather Honey® Leather Conditioner to help maintain softness, protect against drying, and improve resistance to moisture.

Condition approximately every three months, or more often if you live in a dry climate or use your bag daily.

Always test any conditioner on the underside of your strap before applying it to the entire bag.
Cleaning

  • Use a soft microfiber cloth.
  • Clean with a leather cleaner specifically designed for dyed leather.
  • Never soak your leather bag in water.
  • Allow leather to air dry naturally.
  • Never use bleach or harsh household cleaners.


Helpful Tips

  • Bright leather colors may naturally fade with prolonged sun exposure.
  • Light-colored leather may absorb dye transfer from dark denim or clothing.
  • If your leather becomes scratched, conditioning often helps minimize the appearance of minor marks.


Vegan Leather Care
Our Vegan Leather Collection is designed to provide beautiful style while being easy to care for.

Cleaning

  • Wipe with a soft damp cloth.
  • Use cold water and a mild liquid soap when needed.
  • Spot clean only.
  • Avoid abrasive cloths or scrub brushes.

Leather Honey® Leather Cleaner has worked well for many customers. As with any cleaner, always test it on a hidden area first.

Protection
For additional protection, consider using a vegan leather protectant spray.

Avoid prolonged exposure to:

  • Direct sunlight
  • Excessive heat
  • High humidity
  • Standing moisture


Storage
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Denim Care
Denim is designed to be casual, durable, and easy to enjoy.

Cleaning

  • Spot clean using cold water and mild soap.
  • Blot spills promptly.
  • Avoid bleach and harsh detergents.


Protection
A fabric protector may help resist stains and moisture.

Washing
Some denim bags may be machine washed at your own discretion.
If machine washing:

  • Use cold water
  • Gentle cycle
  • Air dry only

Do not place your bag in the dryer or dry clean it.

Corduroy Care
Corduroy adds warmth, texture, and timeless style.

Cleaning

  • Spot clean with cold water and mild soap.
  • Gently brush the fabric with a soft fabric brush after cleaning to restore the nap.
  • Allow to air dry completely.

A fabric protectant may be applied for additional stain resistance.

Fringe Care
Fringe adds movement, personality, and handcrafted character to your bag.

Because fringe naturally moves with everyday wear, a few extra precautions will help preserve its appearance.

  • Avoid pulling or twisting the fringe.
  • Keep fringe away from hook-and-loop fasteners (Velcro), rough surfaces, and sharp objects.
  • If fringe becomes tangled, gently separate it by hand.
  • Store your bag so the fringe hangs naturally rather than being folded underneath the bag.

Please Note
Fringe is considered a decorative design feature and is not covered under the Sassy Dee Sashin' manufacturing warranty.

Cloth Bags
For cloth bags:

  • Spot clean with cold water and mild soap.
  • Apply a fabric protector if desired.
  • Allow to air dry completely.
  • Do not machine dry.
  • Do not dry clean.


Weather & Everyday Wear
Your Sassy Dee Sashin' bag is designed to be worn—not hidden away.

Like your favorite jacket or pair of shoes, it will naturally experience everyday wear as you enjoy life.

Please remember that prolonged exposure to:

  • Rain
  • Excessive moisture
  • Direct sunlight
  • Extreme heat
  • Dirt and oils

can affect the appearance of any material over time.

Taking a few moments to care for your bag helps keep it looking beautiful for years to come.
