Jewellery Care
Mvintage produces jewellery in 316L stainless steel, using enamel, semiprecious gemstones, handcrafted glass stones, and cubic zirconia. Stainless steel is resistant and most importantly hypoallergenic. Each piece is unique to the artisan craftsmanship process, and therefore natural streaking, veins, and/or simple colour differences in the stones may occur. We strive to provide the best quality, combining resistant stainless steel with the finest gold and rose gold IP plating on the market.
At the same time, longevity of rose gold and gold IP plating on jewellery primarily depends on the care and attention that is given and to the conditions the items are worn and stored in.
All jewellery pieces should be stored individually, preferably in the provided Mvintage gift box or pouch in order to avoid abrasion caused by items rubbing against each other. Semi-precious stones and handcrafted glass should not be impacted onto hard surfaces in order to avoid breakages. We also suggest fastening chains when not worn, to avoid these getting tangled.
When choosing to stack multiple pendants on the same chain or earring hoops, it is recommended to make use of our anti-scratch film, available at every point of sale. Find our anti-scratch film stickers here.
Extreme humidity, use of perfume, deodorant, hairspray, make-up, nail polish remover, lotions, oils, antibacterial soaps, shower gels, shampoos, excessive sweating, salty water, chlorine, and chemicals in washing liquids can all have an impact on the gold and rose gold plating. Although stainless steel is strong, gold and rose gold plating is very delicate and can easily be discoloured or darkened if it comes across these elements. Semi-precious stones may also become dull when in contact with these elements since they are naturally porous. Such damage on plating and stones is irreparable.
Cleaning your jewellery is also essential to enjoy it for longer and preserve its shine. We suggest you use a soft, non-abrasive microfiber cloth to softly clean your jewellery pieces. The use of lukewarm water is also accepted as long as the item is then fully dried with a soft cloth. Cleaners containing harsh chemicals are to be absolutely avoided due to irreparable damage.

Sunglasses Care
The Mvintage Sunglasses draw inspiration from five historically important localities around Malta and Gozo, each of which hosts five of our seven stores. Designed in Malta, the five different styles come in a variety of colours and patterns.
They feature polarised lenses with 100% UV protection (category 3), meaning that they take care of your eyesight in the sun by providing complete protection against harmful UV rays. Additionally, they are scratch-resistant and made from strong, yet lightweight stainless steel and premium acetate.
It is very important to take care of your sunglasses so that they can stay with you for a long time. All Mvintage sunglasses come with the following items:
- An extremely convenient, unique velvet hardshell collapsible case, as well as a pouch (sunglasses should be stored individually, preferably in the pouch and the case to avoid abrasion to the lens or frame).
- A microfibre cloth to help keep the lenses clean and polished.
We suggest using a damp cloth to clean your sunglasses prior to using the microfibre cloth as this will help to preserve their anti-scratch properties.
Mvintage products are covered by a 12-month warranty. Read the warranty Terms & Conditions here.

Handbag Care
A leather bag is more than just an accessory—it’s a statement of style and craftsmanship. Caring for it may seem daunting, but with a few simple steps, you can keep your Mvintage Handbag looking as timeless as the day you got it.
Mvintage’s leather handbags are designed with elegance and durability in mind, inspired by heritage and made for modern women. Whether you own our Lion Habbatta handbag, our Mvintage Twist Handbag, or our signature Mvintage tote bag, proper care will allow it to develop a rich patina over time and last longer.
Daily Leather Care
How Do You Clean a Leather Bag?
After a day out, gently wipe your bag with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. This prevents buildup that can dull the leather’s natural beauty.
For textured or grained leather, use a soft-bristled brush to clean seams, zippers, and hardware. Avoid using water, as excess moisture can damage the material.
How Do You Protect Leather & Metal Details From Damage?
Our handbags feature delicate gold metal details that add a touch of elegance. To keep them polished and free from tarnishing or fingerprints, gently wipe with a dry microfiber cloth.
Keep your bag away from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and heat. Avoid contact with water, perfumes, or oils that may stain the leather. Store your bag in a breathable dust bag when not in use.
Long-Term Maintenance
How Do You Keep Leather Supple?
Leather, like skin, needs hydration. Occasionally apply a specialised leather conditioner to keep it soft and prevent cracking. Use a minimal amount and buff gently with a clean cloth.
What’s the Best Way to Store a Leather Bag?
Fill your bag with tissue paper to help maintain its shape. Store in a cool, dry place, away from humidity. Avoid plastic bags, which can trap moisture and lead to mould.
By following these simple steps, your Mvintage leather handbag will stay stylish, elegant, and ready to accompany you wherever life takes you.
