Product Care

1. Introduction

Your Breen bag is designed to be your trusted companion—crafted with care, made to last, and thoughtfully created using sustainable materials. Show it a little love, and it will be by your side for years to come. With the right care, your bag will maintain its beauty and function effortlessly over time.

2. How to Care for Your Breen Bag

Your bag is designed for durability, but like all well-loved accessories, it benefits from proper care.

2.1 General Cleaning

  1. For everyday cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the surface.
  2. For stubborn marks, mix a small amount of mild soap with water, apply with a soft cloth, and wipe dry.
  3. Avoid using harsh chemicals, alcohol-based cleaners, acetone, or bleach, as they may damage the material.
  4. If your bag gets wet, pat it dry immediately with a clean cloth and let it air dry naturally— never use direct heat sources like a hairdryer.
  5. For hardware, gently polish with a dry microfibre cloth to maintain its shine.

3. Storage & Shape Maintenance

Proper storage ensures your bag retains its original shape and structure.

3.1 Best Storage Practices

  1. Store your bag in its original dust bag when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches.
  2. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
  3. Avoid hanging it by its straps for long periods, as this may distort its shape over time.
  4. To help maintain structure, lightly stuff your bag with soft fabric or tissue paper (avoid newspaper, as ink may transfer).
  5. If your bag softens or collapses slightly, restuff it and store it upright to help it regain its form.

4. Things to Avoid

4.1 Preventative Measures

  1. Water & Moisture: While your Breen bag is water-resistant, prolonged exposure to moisture can weaken the material. If wet, dry it immediately.

  2. Direct Heat & Sunlight: Store away from prolonged sun exposure, as it can cause fading or surface damage.

  3. Oils & Chemicals: Avoid contact with lotions, perfumes, sanitisers, and cosmetics, as they may cause discoloration or stains.

  4. Sharp Objects: Be mindful of keys, pens, or rough surfaces that could scratch or puncture your bag.
  5. Heavy Overloading: Avoid overstuffing your bag, as this may stretch the material, put pressure on the handles, and distort its shape.

5. Keeping Your Bag Looking Fresh

  1. Rotate between bags—giving yours a break prevents excessive wear and extends its lifespan.
  2. For small surface marks, buff lightly with a clean, dry cloth to maintain a polished appearance.
  3. Clean the inside lining occasionally—empty your bag and shake out dust, then spot-clean if needed.

6. Extra Care for Recycled Materials

Your Breen bag carries more than just your essentials—it carries a story of sustainability. Made from recycled materials, it has already lived one life before finding its way to you. Because of this, it deserves extra care:

  1. Handle with extra gentleness, as recycled materials may be slightly more delicate than virgin materials.
  2. Avoid prolonged exposure to rough surfaces, as friction may cause scuffing.
  3. Be mindful of moisture and oils, as recycled fabrics may absorb stains differently than traditional materials.
  4. Treat it with the same thoughtfulness and care that went into creating it.

With a little mindfulness, your bag will continue its journey beautifully, season after season. Your Breen bag isn’t just an accessory—it’s part of your daily story. Care for it well, and it will always carry your essentials (and your style) effortlessly.
