Q: Is patent leather vulnerable to colour transfer?

Q: How should I store this bag when it is not in use?
A: Store it upright in a suitable protective pouch, away from prolonged sunlight and moisture. Wrap straps or chains in tissue paper to help prevent contact marks, and keep the patent exterior separate from dark materials. A storage pouch is not listed as included with this item.
