LEATHER BAGS:
For longevity, apply leather protector, after purchase.
To maintain the leather over time, clean off any accumulated dirt with a damp cloth and use leather conditioning cream or specialist leather cleaning wipes for periodic conditioning.
SYNTHETIC BAGS:
Use a slightly damp cloth to clean off accumulated dirt from the surfaces.
CANVAS AND COTTON BAGS:
Follow the washing care instructions on the label.
Stretch and reshape the item into position before leaving to dry.
EXPENSIVE DESIGNER HANDBAGS:
www.handbagclinic.co.uk offers services to clean or fully restore designer handbags. It is recommended to use this service, or one similar, for high-end bags that are in need of rejuvenation; considering the cost of the service against the value of the bag.
STORING HANDBAGS:
To prepare for storing out-of-season, fill the bag with tissue or padding and leave in a protected area, such as a shelf or drawer.
Retain and use the dust bag that accompanies the handbag for storage purposes, to maintain its exterior.
HANDBAG ORGANISATION:
Having a sizeable inner pouch with a zipper, that can easily be moved from one bag to another, can come in handy if you often switch your essentials between bags.
