The Preventive Protocol Kit

Protect the finish you fell in love with.

Don’t wait for your handbag to look neglected before giving it care. The Preventive Protocol Kit combines surface hygiene, conditioning colour care and protection against everyday exposure in a purposeful routine for compatible materials and finishes.

Colour Protect Treatment nourishes leather and helps protect against light-related fading. Anti-Pollution Protector helps repel water, oils and atmospheric pollutants, while the Sanitising Mist provides surface-hygiene care.

Choose proactive care from the first carry and throughout the years, preserving the condition you enjoy today and the resale potential you may value tomorrow.

• Surface hygiene: Sanitising Mist targets surface impurities.
• Nourishing colour care: Colour Protect Treatment conditions leather and helps protect against fading from light exposure.
• Everyday protection: Anti-Pollution Protector helps repel water, oils and atmospheric pollutants.

What’s included: 100ml Hygiene Plus Handbag Sanitising Mist, 100ml Colour Protect Treatment and 100ml Anti-Pollution Protector.

Why choose Archive Essentials? You don’t need to wait until a treasured bag looks worn to start caring for it. This kit brings surface hygiene, conditioning colour care and breathable protection together in one proactive routine: care for the finish you love while helping guard against light-related fading, water, oils and atmospheric pollutants. I care for a personal archive of more than 100 luxury handbags and personally hand-test every care product I stock on a curated selection of hides. Choose preventive care backed by that hands-on experience, with each step serving a distinct purpose. Check each formula’s suitability for your bag’s exact material and finish; this is protection, not a repair or a promise that a bag becomes waterproof. Explore the Archive Gallery to see the range in use, with the products used in each demonstration identified.

How to use

Patch-test each formula on a hidden area first. Use in a well-ventilated room.

Sanitising Mist & Anti-Pollution Protector: Spray evenly across the bag from 20cm away, then lightly rub in circular motions. Leave to dry. Do not aerosolise or produce fine mists when applying the Protector.

Colour Protect Treatment: Apply sparingly to a microfibre cloth, then apply to the bag in circular motions.

Safety: Use in a well-ventilated room. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Wash hands after use. Keep out of reach of children.

Handling & storage: Wash hands after use. Store containers tightly closed in a cool place away from heat; keep Colour Protect away from direct sunlight. Store Sanitising Mist in its original container at 5–30°C, away from frost, strong acids and oxidising agents. Do not pour products down the drain.
