Caring for your Leather Handbag
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 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 at least monthly. Remove unnecessary items and gently vacuum the lining with a small vacuum hose attachment. Leave the empty bag open and to "air out" for a day two. Finally, never store leather handbags in plastic bags. Leather needs to breath. Store your leather handbags in lightweight cotton bags.
