How do you clean leather handbags? 

Keeping your leather handbags in tip-top condition requires an extra bit of TLC. To clean your leather handbag, begin by gently removing surface dust and dirt with a soft, dry cloth.

For deeper cleaning, mix mild soap with water, then dab onto a clean cloth and wipe the bag (ensure to spot test in an inconspicuous area first). Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive moisture, which can damage the leather.

Finish by conditioning the leather with a simple leather conditioner paste/wipe to restore your bag’s natural shine. 

How to store handbags

Properly storing your handbags is essential for preserving their shape and quality. To help keep their shape, stuff your bag with tissue paper or bubble wrap to maintain their form and prevent creasing.

To help keep the elements away, store your handbags in dust bags or pillowcases to shield them from light, dust, and moisture. Be sure to avoid hanging heavy bags, as this may stretch out the straps, and give any shelf-stored bags a rotate to prevent any pressure spots from forming.
