Each Éclats d'Ailleurs creation is carefully selected for its colors, details, and artisanal craftsmanship. A few simple steps will help preserve its beauty and allow you to enjoy it for as long as possible.
✨ Caring for Your Jewelry
Our jewelry is made from a variety of materials: beads, metal threads, gold- or silver-tone elements, and other delicate materials.
To preserve its shine:
-
Avoid contact with water, especially in the shower, at the pool, or at the beach.
-
Apply perfume, lotions, and cosmetics before putting on your jewelry to limit contact with these substances.
-
Remove your jewelry before going to sleep or exercising to prevent impacts, friction, and deformation.
-
Store each piece separately in a pouch or jewelry box, away from moisture and direct light.
-
Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth, without using chemicals or abrasive products.
Beaded jewelry and pieces made with metal threads require special care: avoid pulling, bending, or crushing them to preserve their handcrafted shape.
👜 Caring for Your Handcrafted Bags
Our Wayuu bags are carefully crafted using artisanal techniques that give them their unique character.
To keep them in good condition:
-
Avoid overloading them, as this could deform the bag or weaken its handles.
-
Protect them from prolonged exposure to moisture and let them air-dry in the shade if they become slightly damp.
-
Spot-clean small stains with a slightly damp, soft cloth and mild soap if necessary, after testing on an inconspicuous area. For stubborn stains (ink, marker, etc.), avoid rubbing or using harsh stain removers. Contact us before attempting any treatment to receive advice tailored to your bag's material.
-
Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, and harsh products, as they may damage the fibers, colors, or shape of the bag.
-
Store your bag in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, without compressing it.
❤️ The Charm of Handcrafted Pieces
Slight variations in shape, color, or finish may occur from one piece to another. These reflect the handcrafted process and contribute to the unique character of each piece.
