SU-14983 Wallet - Red

Important safety notice for women's wallets in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety (GPSR)

This is a targeted safety notice for the proper and safe use of women's wallets (leather, textile, synthetic; folding, long "continental", zippered, with snap/clip, coin compartment, ID window, RFID shielding inserts, chain/loop accessories, magnetic closure, metal elements). Since they may contain small, metal or magnetic parts, sharp edges of fittings, and can deform or open spontaneously when overfilled, please follow the instructions below.

Basic safety and handling principles

• Keep out of reach of children: Snaps, clips, zipper sliders, chains, and small decorations pose a choking/inhalation hazard; the product is not a toy.
• Check before use: Inspect seams, closures, zippers, compartments, and windows; replace any loose, cracked, or rusted parts.
• Sharp/metal elements: Edges of fittings and zipper sliders can scratch skin or clothing; be careful with fingers when closing.
• Magnetic parts: Keep away from sensitive electronics and magnetic cards with older stripe types; RFID foil is passive, but magnets can affect magnetic media.

Proper and safe use

• Do not overfill: Excessive amounts of coins/cards increase pressure on seams and closures; risk of spontaneous opening and content falling out.
• Safe storage: Always close the wallet and keep it in a separate pocket/compartment of the bag; keep it within reach and under control in public transport.
• Loops and chains: Secure long loops/chains against snagging (escalators, doors, bicycles); do not carry the wallet on a loose loop during sports.
• Ergonomics: Do not carry a thick wallet in the back pocket while sitting (pressure on the lumbar/sacral area, deformation).
• Documents and electronics: Metal edges can damage displays; separate the wallet from phones/delicate surfaces inside the bag.

Cleaning, maintenance, and storage

• Leather: Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth, condition regularly; do not immerse in water, do not dry on a radiator.
• Suede/nubuck: Use a suede brush and impregnation; protect from water and oil.
• Textile/synthetic: Clean according to the label; avoid aggressive solvents and bleaches (risk of discoloration/damage to glued joints).
• Metal parts/zippers: After contact with salt water/sweat, wipe dry; occasionally lubricate zipper sliders with a suitable product.
• Storage: Store empty or with light contents, in a dry and dark place; protect from prolonged direct sunlight (fading) and moisture (mold, odor).
• Color transfer: Dark/intense colors may bleed onto light fabrics inside the bag; monitor initial use with new products.

Specific health warnings

• Allergies and sensitive skin: Some metals (e.g., nickel in fittings), dyes, and leather agents may cause reactions; if redness or itching occurs, limit contact or choose hypoallergenic fittings.
• Pressure and abrasions: Hard corners, rivets, and thick seams can cause pressure marks when carried in tight pockets; choose suitable placement.

Disposal

• Sorted waste and textile collection: Textile/leather parts should be handed over to textile collection or reuse; separate metal and magnetic parts if possible. Wallets with electronic elements (e.g., built-in LED/power bank cases) must be disposed of according to electronic waste regulations.

Incidents and contact

• In case of an incident (injury from sharp fittings, skin reaction, loss of contents due to spontaneous opening), stop using the product immediately. Keep the product and proof of purchase for complaint handling.
