Care instructions
With the right care, your bracelet will stay beautiful and functional for longer
. Metal Bracelets:
Cosmetics, sweat, and dust can cause skin irritation or lead to oxidation (rusting) of the steel in metal bracelets. Therefore, avoid contact with chemicals such as chlorine. Clean the bracelet regularly with a little soap and lukewarm water, then dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth before wearing it again or storing it.
Leather bracelets
: Protect your leather bracelet from cosmetics, water of any kind, sweat, and chemicals. Also, do not expose it to direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can cause the leather to dry out and fade.
Silicone and Nylon Wristbands
After coming into contact with water—especially saltwater—you should clean the wristband thoroughly: Rinse it with clean water and then dry it with a soft cloth. Because the bracelet fits snugly on your wrist, it can cause skin irritation when combined with sweat—so be sure to change and clean the bracelet regularly. Also, avoid excessive sun exposure, as this can cause the material to discolor.
Canvas and Nylon Loop Straps
Clean the strap as needed with a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with clean water or a mild soapy solution. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush (e.g., a soft toothbrush)—rub gently so the fabric doesn’t fray. Then rinse the bracelet with clean water and let it air dry while lying flat; avoid heat sources such as radiators or hair dryers, as these can cause the material to warp or become brittle. If an odor develops after heavy wear, a mixture of water and vinegar in a 3:1 ratio will help—rinse the bracelet briefly with this solution and let it dry completely before wearing it again. Even though canvas and nylon are more water-resistant than leather, the bracelet should not be worn while permanently wet—so be sure to take it off before showering, swimming, or engaging in other activities involving heavy contact with water.
Solo Loop Bracelets
Due to the stretchy material, a Solo Loop bracelet may stretch by about 5% over time. This is a normal property of the material and not a defect. If the bracelet has become too long, soak it in cold water and then let it air dry completely—not on a radiator or in direct sunlight, as this will prevent the material from shrinking properly.
