Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Handle with care: Hair-on-hide (pony hair) is a beautiful but delicate vintage natural material. To prevent "balding," avoid constant friction against harsh fabrics like heavy denim or sequined coats. Always store her inside the included original dust bag when not in use to protect the hide from dust and crushing.
