Cold weather and harsher elements can take a toll on handbags. With a little extra care, you can keep your bags looking fresh, polished, and ready to carry through fall and winter.
Protecting Leather and Suede
-
Leather: Apply a leather conditioner before the season to prevent cracking. Use a water-repellent spray if you live in rainy or snowy areas.
-
Suede: Keep a suede brush handy to refresh the nap and remove light dirt or stains. Avoid getting suede wet whenever possible.
Caring for Fabric Bags
-
Denim or canvas: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Let the bag air dry completely.
-
Watch for color transfer: Darker fabrics can rub off on lighter clothing, especially in damp weather.
Keep Your Bag in Shape
-
Don’t overload with heavy items like extra shoes or bulky scarves.
-
Rotate your handbags so one doesn’t face daily wear and tear all season.
-
When storing, stuff bags with tissue paper or bubble wrap and place them in a dust bag to maintain shape.
Inside & Hardware Care
-
Line the interior with tissue if carrying liquids to avoid spills or stains.
-
Check zippers, clasps, and buckles regularly. Wipe with a soft cloth to maintain shine.
