PRODUCT CARE INFO

Our Care Recommendations

 

Handbags

We recommend applying a food-grade mineral oil, butcher block oil, or walnut oil to the wood 3-4 times a year to preserve your bag. To clean, wipe gently with a dry cloth, avoid solvent cleaners.

 

To prevent wood cracking, do not squeeze or grip with excessive force. Do not throw, drop from a distance, or allow heavy objects to impact on the product. Open the clutch main flap gently, do not pull or yank. 

 

Minimize the frequency of opening the bag so as not to wear the edges. The packaging bag/box is intended to provide maximum protection when the clutch is not in use. Do not store in direct sunlight. A light to normal amount of weight can be placed in the clutch. In case your bag is exposed to rain, it is protected with an ecological finish. Wipe the clutch dry with a cloth as soon as possible.

 

 Watches

To clean, wipe gently with a dry cloth. Please avoid solvent cleaners. We recommend applying a food-grade mineral oil, butcher block oil, or walnut oil to the wooden component 3-4 times a year to prevent the wood from becoming excessively dry. To prevent the wood cracking, do not squeeze or grip with excessive force.

Do not throw, drop from a distance, or allow heavy objects to impact the watch. Your watch box is intended to provide maximum protection when the watch is not in use. Please store in box when not in use.

 

Bowties

To clean, wipe gently with a dry cloth, avoid solvent cleaners. We recommend applying a food-grade mineral oil butcher block oil, or walnut oil to the wood several times a year.

Do not store in direct sunlight. To prevent the wood cracking, do not squeeze or grip with excessive force. Please store in provided box or pouch.

 

Sunglasses

Our glasses are all treated/sealed with a hypo-allergenic, natural finish (natural oils/waxes). This unique treatment helps preserve the moisture balance in the wood (preventing the wood from drying out and developing cracks).

In addition to this treatment, we recommend applying oil (food-grade mineral oil, butcher block oil or walnut oil) several times a year.

All our glasses are coated with a natural Eco-friendly finish that makes them water resistant. Your glasses will not be affected by sweat, small amounts of water, or splash. Please noted that excessive water exposure (prolonged rain exposure or submersion) may cause your glasses to warp.  

To prevent the wood cracking, do not squeeze or grip with excessive force. Your sunglasses are unique and should be viewed as a wearable art piece. When you are not wearing your glasses, please store in your microfiber pouch and sunglasses case. Please do not store loosely in your handbag, backpack, or in a car console.

 

Lens care

All Wooden Element lenses are Polarized and offer UV-400 protection. For lens care we have provided microfiber cloths. Please never use tissue, toilet paper, paper towels or other cloths to clean your lenses. These might scratch the polarized coating on your lenses.

After trips to beach please note that salt-water can inflict serious damage to mirrored (REVO) and polarized lenses. Gently rinse with warm water to remove the abrasive residue before you wipe clean with microfiber cloth.

Generally, for cleaning lenses, we recommend sticking with lukewarm water and microfiber cleaning cloths as your go-to. If there is a stubborn smudge or smear that will not go away, you can use a lens cleaner.

Avoid any product that contains alcohol. Also never use Windex or other chemical cleaners as they will degrade the lens coating. For REVO lenses, avoid lens cleaners and stick to warm water.
