Preservation
The Shift Archive is crafted from printed leather and natural materials that will age over time. Subtle changes in texture, soft creasing, and gentle wear are part of the object’s character and history.
Storage
When not in use, store within a protective dust bag or box to preserve the artwork and materials.
Pearl Handle
The pearl handle is assembled by hand using Japanese glass pearls and gold-filled elements.
Protect from excessive force, moisture, perfumes, lotions, and chemical exposure to preserve the integrity of the materials.
Environment
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme heat, moisture, and harsh cleaning agents.
Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored fabrics and upholstery, as color transfer may occur.
Cleaning
To clean, gently wipe the surface with a damp, lint-free cotton cloth.
Aging
Like all meaningful objects, The Shift Archive is intended to age alongside its owner. Variations that develop over time are part of the piece and its story.
