EXCEPTIONAl WORLD LEATHERS
Each Arella handbag has been carefully made with exceptional leathers sourced from premium tanneries around the world. Most House of Arella handbags are made with full-grain vegetable-tanned leather from the USA and Europe. These premium, organic leathers will naturally deepen and soften over time, creating a beautiful and rich patina unique to your journey.
CHARACTER & PATINA
Natural marks and subtle wrinkles are not imperfections; instead, they add distinct character to the raw nature of the leather. After continuous wear, surface scratches will naturally soften and blend into the hide. If you are concerned about scratches, dry leather, or simply want to professionally buff your beautiful handbag, please contact us for our detailed, step-by-step restoration guidance.
SAFE KEEPING & STRUCTURE
When your handbag is not in active use, place it delicately inside its original House of Arella dust bag. We highly recommend stuffing the interior gently with clean, acid-free tissue paper to preserve its hand-molded silhouette. Avoid hanging the bag by its straps for extended durations, as this can permanently stretch the fine leather fibers.
PROTECTING YOUR PRECIOUS CREATIONS
Every piece of House of Arella jewelry is crafted with care and individuality, designed to be treasured over time. Our pieces are made from solid 18k gold, sterling silver, pearls, precious gemstones, and rare, unconventional materials. To preserve their beauty, we recommend gently cleaning your jewelry with a soft toothbrush and mild soapy water, lightly brushing to remove any impurities, and drying carefully. Store each piece separately in a soft box or pouch to avoid scratches.
FOUNDATION CARE & SEPARATION
Always store your fine jewelry pieces individually in separate soft fabric pouches or dedicated compartments within a lined jewelry box. Allowing pieces to rest together can lead to metal-on-metal friction, causing fine surface scratches. Regularly polish your metals with a soft, lint-free flannel cloth to safely restore their natural luster.
NATURAl GEMSTONE INTEGRITY
Our signatureLunaru necklaces feature the highest grade of gem-quality, hand-carved gemstones. Unlike industrial, synthetic substitutes, these natural crystalline structures are delicate, unique masterpieces of nature. They possess specific cleavages and mineral vulnerabilities that demand a highly mindful, disciplined preservation routine.
THE CARPET RULE
Because natural gemstones can chip or fracture upon a sudden clash with modern stone floors, always stand over a plush, carpeted surface or a soft bed whenever putting on or taking off your Lunaru necklace. This soft barrier ensures that an accidental drop will not compromise or shatter the hand-carved stone.
IMPACT AVOIDANCE
Once securely fastened around your neck, your fine jewelry creation is entirely stable and safe for daily wear. However, please remain deeply mindful of your surroundings; a sudden, strong physical impact against a hard marble counter, metal desk, or heavy doorframe can permanently crack or structurally break the natural stone.
