A good handbag is a prized possession and with care, will hold up a long, long time. Handbags, apart from carrying our essentials daily, are also crucial in putting an attire together. It makes sense to maintain and care for it. Some helpful tips:
Keep out of direct sunlight and store in a dust bag cover.
Rotate bags so you don't wear out a particular one too quickly. Most of us are guilty of this, we tend to carry one particular one that we are fond of, or we are simply too lazy to switch bags and deal with transferring items from one to the other.
Wipe handbags down weekly with a soft cloth when in use.
Keep cosmetics and makeup items in a separate bag to prevent spills and stains from products.
Do not store bags with nylons or plastic materials as they tend to trap moisture.
Avoid placing bags on the bare floor when out, keep on your laps or hang on a chair.
Remove any stains immediately.
Do not over stuff bags, this can cause a strain on it.
When not in use, stuff bags with old newspapers or old clothing to maintain original shape.
If any issues, be sure to take it to a professional repairer, not your road side shoe maker/repairer.
Keep bags elevated in storage, don't just toss them at the bottom of your wardrobe. Think a bag rack.
Be mindful of pens as well. The ink could stain bags. Go with one that has a cover.
