Care

Rylan bags are designed in Australia and made from luxurious leathers or our newly introduced soft recycled vegan leather. Leather is natural and as such has unique characteristics and colour variations. These variations in colour and grain are not considered imperfections. Your Rylan bag has been created to evolve with you for many years. Any ageing and wear will add to the beauty of this product and reflect the adventures of your life. 

Here are some tips to maintain the beauty of your Rylan bag and to ensure that it ages gracefully.

  • Keep your bag in a cool, dry place. Avoid contact with direct sunlight and liquids of any description.
  • Avoid exposure to any form of heat and humidity.
  • Try to avoid overfilling your bag as it may cause the bag to stretch or alter its shape.
  • Store your bag in the Rylan dust bag provided when not in use, never store it in a plastic bag.
  • Be careful not to rub your bag against abrasive objects or surfaces.
  • Use a microfibre cloth to wipe your bag clean.

Thank you for investing in something beautiful.

Jewellery Care - 

Plating is a process where a layer of gold is placed on to coat the surface of another metal. As the jewellery is not 100% solid gold, extra care should be taken to maximize its lifespan. Anything plating will eventually tarnish with time and wear.

To decrease the chances of fading out, here are easy ways on keeping the luster of your gold-plated jewellery -

  • Do not spray on perfume or other sprays while wearing your gold-plated jewellery. 
  • Wait until your lotion or cream is dry or has been absorbed by your skin before you wear your gold plated ring, bracelet or necklace.
  • Substances like oil, nail polish, nail polish remover, chlorine, and perfume may react with metal/plated jewellery and cause it to tarnish. This is also true for sweat, so make sure you remove your gold-plated jewellery when you exercise or doing anything requiring heavy work and when swimming.
  • After every use, clean your plated jewellery with a cotton ball or a very soft cloth to remove any dust and dirt. Gently rubbing the surface of your gold-plated jewellery using a soft jewelry cloth, helps restore shine. Do *not* use a polishing cloth as this will strip away the plating.
  • If your jewellery needs more cleaning you may clean it with warm, soapy water. Soak it for a few minutes and you may clean it with a soft cloth.
  • Stay away from jewellery cleaners and antibacterial soaps which may have certain components that will make your gold plated jewellery tarnish more quickly.
  • To avoid scratches, wrap your jewellery in a soft cloth after cleaning or keep it in a jewellery box separate from other types of jewellery you have. Small zip-locks work great.
  • Store like items together. Do not store gold plating and silver plating together. The different metals will cause each other to tarnish, fade and/or turn colours. Have different storage places for different colours of metals like gold and rose gold.
  • Store in a dry area.
