Ami Paris Carrousel Leather Bag Care and Maintenance

Quick answer

Keep your Ami Paris Carrousel bag looking its best by dusting it weekly, conditioning smooth calfskin every 2-3 months, and protecting the suede lining from spills. Avoid harsh chemicals and store it in the dust bag when not in use.

Step-by-step care for your Ami Paris Carrousel bag

1. 1. Dust the bag weekly: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to wipe down the smooth leather exterior. For the suede interior, use a suede brush in one direction to lift any loose dust or debris. Skip paper towels—they can scratch smooth calfskin.
2. 2. Spot clean stains immediately: For a small mark on smooth leather, dampen a microfiber cloth with lukewarm water and blot (don’t rub). For suede, use a suede eraser gently on the spot. Never soak either material. Rubbing spreads the stain and damages the leather fibers.
3. 3. Condition the exterior every 2-3 months: Apply a small amount of high-quality leather conditioner (cream or balm, not oil) to a clean cloth. Work it into the calfskin in circular motions, then let it absorb for 1 hour. Buff with a dry cloth. Don’t over-condition—once the leather feels supple, stop. Too much product clogs the pores.
4. 4. Protect the suede lining from liquid: Use a suede and fabric protector spray on the interior lining. Test on an inconspicuous area first. Hold the can 15 cm away and spray evenly, then let dry fully before storing anything inside. Skip spray near the metal hardware to prevent tarnishing the engraved plaque.
5. 5. Store with care: Keep the bag in its dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Stuff the interior with acid-free tissue paper to help it keep its shape. Avoid plastic bags—they trap moisture and can cause mold on both leather and suede.

What to know about the Carrousel leather
