– contact with rough, rough surfaces and sharp objects, to minimize the occurrence of scratches and preserve embroidery and fabrics.

– exposure to rain or direct contact with water. If this occurs, allow the item to dry in the shade.

– use with excessive weight, as it may become deformed or damaged.

– machine washing, as this can damage the embroidery and fabric or cause inadvertent dyeing or discoloration of the materials.
