Q: How should I care for the pleated leather?
A: To help preserve the leather, avoid overfilling the bag and keep it away from water, humidity, direct heat and prolonged sunlight. When not in use, store it lightly filled with white tissue paper in a soft dust bag. If light marks appear, pat gently with a soft dry white cloth rather than rubbing, and avoid alcohol or harsh cleaning products.

Q: What condition should I expect from this vintage bag?
A: This bag is in very good vintage condition overall. The exterior leather has scuffing on the corners and cracking on the edges, the interior shows light traces of use with light marks on the inside leather material, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches.

Q: What should I look for when checking a vintage Bvlgari bag before buying?

Q: Can Bvlgari leather bags be repaired or refurbished?
A: Bvlgari offers after-sales services for leather goods, including cleaning, refurbishment and certain spare-part repairs through its boutiques and service centres. For a vintage pre-owned bag, service availability can depend on the style, age and the work required.
