CRAFTSMANSHIP & CARE
CRAFTSMANSHIP & CARE
PREMIUM MATERIALS. CONSIDERED CRAFTSMANSHIP. MADE TO BE LOVED.
A NIKKI WILLIAMS handbag begins with the leather.
We believe beautiful design starts with beautiful materials, which is why we carefully select our leathers for their quality, texture, colour, durability and character.
Our leathers are sourced from selected tanneries across Italy, Europe and Asia, with each material chosen specifically for the design it will become.
OUR LEATHER
SELECTED FOR ITS CHARACTER
We work with a variety of premium leathers throughout our collections, including:
ITALIAN NAPPA
Soft, supple and luxurious with a beautiful hand feel.
LAMBSKIN
Lightweight and exceptionally soft, creating an elegant and refined finish.
TOP-GRAIN COWHIDE
Durable and naturally beautiful, developing character with use.
SUEDE
Soft and tactile, with a rich texture and distinctive finish.
Each leather is different, and that is part of what makes it special.
Natural grain variations, subtle differences in colour and individual markings are characteristics of genuine leather. No two hides are exactly the same, meaning every NIKKI WILLIAMS handbag has its own individual character.
MADE IN LIMITED NUMBERS
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
Our handbags are handcrafted in limited numbers.
We deliberately choose a considered approach to production rather than mass manufacturing, allowing us to focus on the details that make a handbag feel special.
From the selection of the leather to the construction, hardware and finishing, each element is carefully considered.
The result is a handbag designed not simply to follow a season, but to become part of your wardrobe and your story.
THE BEAUTY OF NATURAL LEATHER
YOUR HANDBAG WILL EVOLVE WITH YOU
Leather is a natural material, and like all beautiful natural materials, it changes with time and use.
With regular wear, your NIKKI WILLIAMS handbag may become softer and more relaxed in shape. The leather can develop subtle variations in colour and texture, creating a finish that is uniquely yours.
We believe these changes are part of the beauty of owning a genuine leather handbag.
PLEASE NOTE
Light-coloured leathers can mark more easily than darker colours and should be treated with additional care.
Most of our leathers are treated to provide a degree of water and scratch resistance. However, we always recommend taking preventative care of your handbag.
CARING FOR YOUR NIKKI WILLIAMS HANDBAG
PROTECT
Before using your new handbag, we recommend applying a quality leather protector suitable for the specific type of leather.
Always follow the instructions provided with the leather protection product.
Do not apply conditioner or moisturiser to metallic leather.
KEEP DRY
Avoid exposing your handbag to unnecessary moisture.
Take particular care around metal hardware, including:
Zips
Buckles
Embellishments
Metal fittings
Moisture can affect both leather and metal components.
IF YOUR BAG GETS WET
Don't panic.
Gently wipe away excess moisture with a soft, clean cloth and allow the handbag to dry naturally.
NEVER USE DIRECT HEAT
Do not use a hairdryer, heater or other high-heat source to speed up drying.
Heat can cause leather to crinkle, harden or change shape.
Allow your handbag to dry naturally at room temperature.
CLEANING YOUR HANDBAG
GENTLE CARE IS BEST
For regular cleaning, gently wipe the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
Where appropriate, a small amount of mild leather cream may be used on suitable leather finishes.
Always test any cleaning or conditioning product on a discreet area first.
METALLIC LEATHER
Do not condition or moisturise metallic leather.
The finish requires different care and should be treated gently.
CARING FOR SUEDE
HANDLE WITH EXTRA CARE
Suede is naturally delicate and requires additional care.
Avoid moisture, oils, cosmetics and other substances that may mark the surface.
For more significant marks or stains, we recommend using a specialist leather and suede cleaner or taking your handbag to a professional leather specialist.
Avoid applying standard leather creams or conditioners to suede.
STORING YOUR HANDBAG
KEEP ITS SHAPE. PROTECT ITS BEAUTY.
When you're not using your NIKKI WILLIAMS handbag, we recommend storing it carefully.
01 — USE THE DUST BAG
Always store your handbag in its original dust bag to protect it from dust and light.
02 — MAINTAIN ITS SHAPE
Gently fill the interior with clean tissue paper to help maintain its shape.
Never use newspaper, as ink can transfer onto the leather or lining.
03 — STORE IN A COOL, DRY PLACE
Keep your handbag away from direct sunlight, excessive humidity and sources of heat.
Avoid storing leather handbags in plastic bags or airtight containers, as leather needs to breathe.
04 — GIVE IT ROOM
Avoid placing heavy items on top of your handbag or storing it tightly against other bags.
Allowing the leather to retain its natural shape will help preserve its appearance.
A HANDBAG WITH A LIFE OF ITS OWN
DESIGNED TO AGE BEAUTIFULLY
We don't expect your NIKKI WILLIAMS handbag to remain exactly as it was on the day you bought it.
We expect it to become yours.
The softness that develops with use.
The subtle changes in the leather.
The marks and memories collected along the way.
These are the things that make a genuine leather handbag personal.
Choose well.
Care for it.
Keep it for years.
