Product

How do I clean my backpack/suitcase
Care instructions for leather bags:

Our leather products have been made with care from genuine high quality leather. The leather texture is naturally generated and will develop a rich patina over time. Any variations in the color and grain are a result of the natural characteristics of the leather. Care should be taken when wearing light colored garments to prevent color transfer (a natural risk with leather). Keep the product dry and avoid contact with damp or wet surfaces. Limit the exposure to direct heat or sunlight. To clean the product, just wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any chemical cleaners to care for the product. Optional care, not essential: with a soft brush, a colorless cream can be applied regularly to leather areas (not for Nubuck leather). The product can be protected by applying a waterproofing agent, following the recommendations given by the manufacturer.

Care instructions for fabric bags:

Clean the outside fabric with a slightly wet cloth. Do not bleach. Do not soak in water. Hang in a shady place. In case of a deep stain, clean the fabric with a cloth or soft brush using water and neutral soap. A universal-use protective spray (i.e. Scotchguard – found in most shoe or handbag departments) may be used to keep the product looking clean. When your fabric bag is combined with leather, avoid moistening the leather when cleaning.

But if you want to catch the monkeys around you, you click "Catch me". This opens your camera, look around you & hopefully a Monkey pops up. If you see one, just tap the monkey to catch it. If there isn't a monkey around you can always take a look to the map to see where they might be hiding.

You might see a scannable monkey on one of our Kipling Communications, online, on a poster, in store or maybe on social media.

Normally the monkey should start moving. If it doens't move, try waving your hand in front of your camera to make it focus on the monkey. Once the monkey starts moving, you can tap the monkey itself to add it to your monkey collection.
