Care and Repair
Crafted with exceptional care, Connolly products deserve special attention. Whether it's a leather bag or a finely made knit, all Connolly creations can be maintained and rejuvenated through expert repair and restoration services.
Leather Care Advice
Leather is a living material; it will change and wear with use, developing a beautiful patina over time that reflects the many adventures it accompanies you on. To keep your leather bag in optimal condition, store it in its special Spanish-made eco suede Connolly dust bag when not in use.
To clean your bag or wallet, use a light damp cloth followed by a dry cloth to ensure the leather doesn't get dirty. Be mindful that leather care is case-specific, so always test any product on a small, inconspicuous area first to avoid potential damage. When applying Connolly Leather Hide Care, keep in mind that heavily finished leather will prevent the product from penetrating into the hide structure, and it may cause uneven absorption rates depending on the leather type. Hide Care is recommended only for dry or worn leather where oils have been depleted, as new leather won’t absorb the product effectively, leading to possible staining or smearing. The Hide Cleaner is designed solely for cleaning, while Hide Care lubricates and nourishes the leather structure. Leather only begins to deteriorate when it dries out and loses its natural oils, causing the hide's structure to become brittle. If your leather is dry, we advise using Hide Care to restore the necessary oils.

Knitwear Care
All Connolly knitwear is crafted in England, Scotland, and Italy using the finest natural yarns and knitting techniques. We recommend dry cleaning only for all your knitwear. When not in use, store your knitwear out of direct sunlight and, during the summer months, in a natural cotton fiber zip bag. To maintain its natural shape, we suggest folding your knitwear rather than hanging it.
Knitwear Repair
For any repair or rejuvenation needs, we partner with Cashmere Circle to offer customers the opportunity to revive their older pieces. This service includes everything from fine merino sweaters to chunky cashmere cardigans and blankets. Connolly values the use of sustainable and natural fibres in their knitwear collections.
