Mini Demi Tote Bag in Black

Care Instructions for the Mini Demi Bag:

1. Regular Cleaning:
   Gently wipe your Mini Demi Bag with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that may harm the eco-friendly microfibre.
2. Leather Conditioning:
   The Mini Demi Bag is made from cruelty-free microfibre, and regular conditioning will help maintain its beauty. Use a vegan leather conditioner, but always test the product on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn’t affect the material’s color or texture. Once tested, apply the conditioner with a soft cloth in circular motions, allowing it to absorb fully for a lasting, supple finish.
3. Deep Cleaning:
   For more stubborn stains, use a dedicated vegan leather cleaner. After cleaning, follow up with a conditioning treatment to restore the bag’s softness and sheen.
4. Shape Maintenance:
   When not in use, store the Mini Demi Bag in its protective dust bag. To help the bag retain its shape, stuff it with clean paper or a soft cloth.
5. Storage:
   Store the bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity, to preserve its color and material quality. Avoid heat and moisture exposure to maintain the integrity of the materials.

Q: What is the LaBante Mini Demi Tote?

A: The Mini Demi is a small vegan tote from LaBante London,a British brand founded in 2011. The body is cruelty-free microfibre, and the strap is recycled plant-based leather, hand-painted by artist Iris Scott. The lining is made from recycled plastic bottles.

Q: Who painted the Mini Demi's strap?

A: US artist Iris Scott, as part of the LaBante x Iris Scott Artist Collection. Each strap is painted by hand, so no two bags look exactly the same.

Q: How long will the Mini Demi last?

A: With normal daily use, the Mini Demi is built to last for years. The microfibre body holds its shape well and doesn't need the conditioning real leather does. It's backed by a 1-year LaBante warranty.

Q: Will the Mini Demi peel, crack, or smell like plastic?

A: The materials are chosen to avoid the strong smell and cracking common in cheap vegan leather. Keep the painted strap away from water and rough handling so the artwork stays sharp.

Q: Is the Mini Demi water-resistant?

A: The microfibre body handles light rain fine. It's not made for heavy rain. If it does get wet, wipe it dry right away and let it air dry away from direct heat.

Q: How do I clean and store the Mini Demi?

A: Wipe the microfibre body with a soft, damp cloth. Keep the hand-painted strap dry, wiping it gently if needed. Store it in its dust bag or gift box. For stubborn stains use a leather wipe.

Q: Can I wear the Mini Demi crossbody?

A: Yes. The strap detaches and adjusts from 65 to 100 cm, so you can carry it as a mini tote by the handle or wear it crossbody, hands-free.

Q: Is the Mini Demi an eco-friendly bag?

A: Yes. The lining reuses old plastic bottles. It ships in a gift box with a cotton dust bag, and a hidden note inside reads "And she persisted."

Q: What is LaBante's returns and warranty policy?

A: Returns or exchanges within 30 days of delivery, and a one-year warranty on every product.

Q: Is the Mini Demi a good gift for someone who isn't vegan?

A: Yes. It arrives gift-boxed with a one-of-a-kind hand-painted strap, so it feels like a considered gift no matter who opens it. It's available online at labante.co.uk, with free UK shipping on orders over £100.
