You are now the owner of one of the world's finest leather products. It bears an unmistakable symbol of quality: The Mark Cross Trademark. It guarantees that artisans crafted the piece from start to finish and that our uncompromising standards for materials, design and workmanship have been met. All our materials are sourced and selected by experts using the very best Italian leather tanneries. So, they must be cared for in a very special way.

Our smooth and grained leathers require regular care. Clean them using a soft, dampened cloth. Once the leather is dry, polish it in circular strokes with colorless wax and a soft cloth. Ensure that the leather is not exposed to direct sunlight or humidity.

The vegetable tanned leather process leads to higher quality and provides natural protection against aging. As the leather is not artificially treated, it is subject to natural oxidation resulting in visible color changes over time. The polishing treatment is the same one utilized for smooth and grained leathers.

Suede leathers are more delicate. Exposure to water or rain can cause color fading or staining. If this happens, let the suede dry before cleaning. Maintain the velvety texture of suede by gently running the surface with a soft brush.

Satin is a delicate material and requires careful handling. Avoid contact with water, oils, cosmetics, and alcohol-based products, as these may stain or leave marks. Protect the surface from abrasion by avoiding rough or dark materials that may cause color transfer. Do not overfill the bag, as this can distort the fabric. When not in use, store the bag in its dust bag, away from direct sunlight and humidity. To remove light dust, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stains, do not attempt to clean locally with water; we recommend professional cleaning by a specialist experienced with delicate fabrics.

Canvas is a durable material but benefits from mindful care. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading. Keep the material away from excessive moisture; if it becomes wet, pat dry with a clean cloth and allow it to air dry naturally. To minimize the risk of color transfer, avoid contact with dark or heavily dyed garments. Do not overfill the bag, as this may affect its shape and structure. For light dirt, clean gently with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water. Avoid harsh detergents, solvents, or abrasive tools. For more persistent stains, we recommend professional cleaning.
