Product Care Asprey uses European hides to create the bullskin, traditionally tanned and drum-dyed to create a leather that is supple and resistant. The colours are rich, transparent and deep and the finishing reveals the true beauty of the natural grain. Maintain the beauty of your Asprey bullskin handbag to ensure it endures though time. Avoid direct contact with heat, water, light & oil, as well as any situation that is either too humid or dry. Wipe away any moisture as soon as possible. When not in use, replace the custom-made kid suede cushion provided inside the handbag to hold its shape, and store your bullskin & nubuck handbag in the dust bag provided and in a clean, dry, temperate atmosphere.
Commercial care products are not kind to Asprey bullskin handbags. A soft dry cloth is sufficient to maintain the beauty of the leather. The nubuck can be cleaned with a suede & nubuck cleaning block. Should there be a problem, we recommend you contact us for some expert TLC, using the Asprey after-sales service.
All Asprey products are guaranteed against defects in workmanship for one year from the date of purchase (this in no way affects your statutory rights). However, in the unlikely event that your Asprey product does not match up to our exacting standards, we will try our hardest to put matters right. Should any manufacturing fault appear on your Asprey product within twelve months of purchase, please return it to us with proof of purchase. Where possible we will try to repair it, or if it cannot be repaired, we will replace it for you.
For any damage resulting from normal "wear and tear", an accident, or damage that has occurred outside of our guarantee period, please contact our Customer Service team (customerservices@asprey.com) who will be pleased to provide you with a quote for repair where possible. Please be aware that repairs may take up to twelve weeks.
