To keep your suitcase looking new trip after trip:

• Exterior: use our Lipault cleaner in gentle circular motions with a soft cloth, or a damp cloth with mild soap.
• Interior: a wipe or vacuum is enough to remove dust or sand.
• Wheels and handle: check regularly that they work properly and lubricate if needed.
• Storage: store your suitcase in a dry place, away from moisture. For Foldable Plume models, fold it back into its protective cover.

Our suitcases come with a 2-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects.
