History

History

Care Instructions

  • It is recommended that you wash it by hand or in a dry cleaning machine rather than putting it through the rigors of the washing machine. 
  • You should make every effort to ensure that its exposure to the sun is kept to a minimum in order to prevent the formation of yellow spots in concentrated regions. 
  • When packing it, be sure to use bags with straps, since fur hair is prone to falling out. 
  • Make sure it doesn't become wet or soaked.
