Storing You Handbag—When you’re not using your bag it’s important that you take the time to properly store it. Depending on the type of bag, you have to figure out the best way to keep it safe until its next use. One of the best ways to store a handbag, especially the pricier ones, is in a flannel dust bag. These keep away dust, moths, dirt, etc from your bag and also keep it looking like new. Often the most expensive designer bags come with their own flannel dust bags, but if your handbag doesn’t, a pillow case also does the job.
Another thing that is important about your bag is its shape. A tote should look like a tote, a satchel a satchel. Both tissue paper (acid free) and bubble wrap work at keeping handbags the right size and shape. Make sure that the handbag is empty of all other items, such as pens that might leak or candies that might become sticky and ruin the interior of the bag.
Keeping the detailing of your handbag working is important, too. What good is your bag if the zipper isn’t working and the bag won’t open? It’s important to make sure you don’t force open the zipper and that the zipper tracks remain clear at all times. A good way to keep the zipper moving smoothly is to lightly run natural beeswax over the tracks. This will keep the tracks from becoming rusty and keep them smooth.
To keep the outside of your handbag looking good you have to keep in mind the fabric of your bag. Obviously if your bag is leather you need to condition it with a leather conditioning cream to keep it smooth. Try and keep it out of the rain. If it does get wet, gently dab it dry (never wipe it). As for suede, don’t try and clean it yourself, take it to a professional. When you store suede make sure nothing is rubbing against the suede that may leave a mark such as handles or zippers. As for fabric bags, these have a tendency to collect dust so keep a duster or lint roller nearby and give them a quick cleaning before storing.
Of course, with too many handbags sometimes you need to get creative with storage, such as wall art, shoeboxes or even under the bed (the horror), but whatever your chosen mode of storage, just make sure to protect your bags. It’ll make them last a lot longer.
