craftmanship. Many of French's earliest customer were celebrities from motion
pictures

Q. Why should I buy nice luggage?

in a nice house,
because it is important to know how the world sees you. Successful, discerning
and
sophisticated, you enjoy nice things and can sustain them.
Q. Will the airlines damage the luggage?
A. Anything can be damaged of course, but good quality luggage is made
more carefully

Q. Can I clean my luggage?
A. Yes. You can clean your luggage as you would an upholstered piece of furniture
using good quality proprietary unholstery cleaner. Use a leather cleaner/conditioner on
smooth leather and on suede we suggest a stiff suede brush or even fine sandpaper. (That
is how they originally produce the fine suede nap.)
Q. Will my pattern always be available?
A. Yes, at least within our ability to buy the fabric. It has always been our policy to
maintain an inventory of our fabrica and leather after the pattern has been dropped from
the current line. Therefore, we can make special pieces and render repairs. Occasionally it
has that mills can no longer weave specific patterns for us but that us unusual. Some
of our earlier fabrics have been stocked for more that 25 years.
Q. How do I set my combination lock?

own combination such as birthday, phone number, etc., follow the instructions below:
1.Leave dials at the opening combination 0-0-0 and pull out shackle.
2.Turn shackle 90 and press shackle down as far as it will go.
3.Holding the shackle down set the dials to your own combination.

your new combination.
