How should you care for a leather handbag? Although leather handbags are extremely durable,A little attention goes a long way in enhancing their beauty. Wipe off spots and spills promptly with a slightly damp cloth. About four times a year apply a coat of neutral (colorless) leather shoe polish to your leather handbag and buff it back to mint condition.(Before applying any polish,test a small area on the bottom of the bag to ensure it is colorfast). Gently brush suede handbags with a soft suede brush to loosen dirt and restore luster. When was the last time you cleaned out the inside of your leather handbag? It pays to purge your handbag once a month, remove all items and vacuum the lining with a small hose attachment. Leave the empty bag open to "air out" for a day or two. Refill and you are ready to go. Never store leather handbags in plastic bags. Leather needs to breath. Store your leather handbags in lightweight cotton bags. Though I wrote this about leather handbags, this goes for all your leather bags, leather backpacks, duffles, briefcases and tote bags etc. You pay good money for your leather bags so treat them with care.
