Legal Notice (Australia)
This warranty is provided in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). Nothing in this policy limits or excludes statutory consumer guarantees, including entitlements to replacement, refund, or compensation where applicable.
Product Care
Your Chelwish piece is crafted from high-quality full-grain leather, selected for its natural beauty and long-lasting durability. To help preserve its appearance and structure over time, please follow the care guidelines below.
Storage
- When not in use, store your bag in its original dust bag, placed upright and away from direct sunlight, heat, or humidity.
- Lightly fill the interior with acid-free tissue paper, a soft cloth, or a pillow insert to help maintain its shape.
- Keep handles and straps in a relaxed position to prevent bending or distortion.
Daily Use
- Avoid overfilling the bag, as excessive weight may stretch or deform the leather, lining, or handles.
- Prevent contact with dark or untreated fabrics to reduce the risk of colour transfer, particularly on lighter leather shades.
- Keep the bag away from makeup, hand creams, perfumes, and oils, which may cause staining.
Cleaning
- If exposed to water or dirt, gently blot the surface with a clean, dry, light-coloured cloth and allow it to air dry naturally. Do not rub or apply heat.
- For routine care, use only a soft, dry cloth. Avoid soaps, alcohol, creams, waterproofing sprays, or abrasive cleaning products.
- Clean, dry hands are recommended when handling the bag.
Preservation
- Natural oils and daily wear may subtly change the leather’s finish over time. Softening and the development of a light patina are natural characteristics of genuine leather.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which may affect the colour or texture of the leather.
Waiting Period
25 - 30 Business Days
Commanding and uncompromising, Chelwish Impériale Noir is the embodiment of authority expressed through craftsmanship. Sculpted from premium black crocodile leather, its natural scale pattern reveals depth, strength, and quiet power — a material chosen not for display, but for distinction.
The architectural silhouette is unmistakably Chelwish, defined by sculptural wings and a precise envelope flap. At its centre, the gold-tone signature lock rests with restrained confidence, allowing the texture of the crocodile leather to speak without interruption. Every line, every proportion, is deliberate.
Handcrafted in limited quantities, Impériale Noir is designed for those who command presence effortlessly — individuals who understand that true luxury is felt before it is seen.
This is authority, refined.
This is Chelwish at its most powerful.
