Product Warranty

Marc Jacobs stands behind the quality and craftsmanship of its products, offering a one-year manufacturing defect warranty from the date of purchase. The company will replace items if the defect is a direct result of a manufacturing or functional flaw in hardware and fabrication.

Canvas material is known for its unique characteristics and can develop a vintage, worn-in appearance over time with use. This natural aging process is intentional and not considered a manufacturing defect. Similarly, while leather is durable, it is not completely resistant to scratches and scuffs. Sharp objects or rough surfaces can cause marks on the leather surface.

Jewelry is made of delicate materials, and customers are advised to avoid direct contact with water, perfume, body lotion, make-up, hand sanitizer, and any other chemical that may tarnish the pieces.

To ensure the longevity of Marc Jacobs products, the following care guidelines are recommended:

When not in use, stuff bags and shoes to preserve their shape and store them in a cool, dark place.
Avoid contact with dyed materials and harsh chemicals.
Naturally tanned leathers will gradually darken in color over time and with exposure to light.
Printed leather goods are a delicate material and can suffer from abrasion, cracking, and wear if not handled properly.
Salt and atmospheric agents, in general, can cause irreversible wear.
Delicate leather goods constructed using any delicate leathers should be handled carefully.
Avoid contact with light-colored clothing and items, rain, heat, oil, grease, and other abrasive products.
Due to the nature and finish of denim, color may transfer into light-colored fabric; use care when wearing.
Embellished goods are constructed using delicate materials and should be handled carefully.
Store embellished goods in a protective dust bag and avoid close contact with other objects when not in use.
Remove jewelry before participating in physical activities such as swimming, exercise, or cleaning.
Store jewelry in a dustbag or a cool, dry place.
Follow all instructions inside each specific ready-to-wear item on the tag provided. Always use cold water when machine washing and wash with similar colors, then lay flat to dry.
