Designer Purse Care

Properly caring for your designer purses, designer handbags and designer luggage will go a long way for their durability. Many of the purses, handbags and luggage that are on the market today are made with synthetic or waterproof materials which can be easily maintained by wiping them clean with a damp cloth after use.

A considerable amount of money is spent on leather and suede purses and handbags which is more reason to protect them. Weatherguard sprays, made specifically to protect certain types of leather and suede products, can be purchased at shoe and handbag stores, as well as through most retail manufacturers of leather and suede products. Leather creams and suede brushes are wise investments, which will protect and ensure the longest life out your leather and suede designer handbags.

Follow these tips for protecting your synthetic, leather and suede purses and designer handbags:

• Wipe off leather purses and handbags with a clean, moist cloth before applying any spray or cream protection treatments.
• Treat your leather or suede accessories with the appropriate weatherproof sprays for added protection.
• Purses, handbags and luggage made of synthetic materials are easily maintained and can be wiped clean with a moist cloth, and if soiled, a spot remover.
• If you use a leather cream to preserve your handbag opt for a transparent brand that wont rub off on your clothes and hands.
• Remove dust and dirt from suede purses and handbags with a suede brush or a terry cloth towel.
• Try to keep leather (especially suede handbags and purses) from getting wet. If you get caught in the rain with your suede purse, let it dry at room temperature then pad it dry with a terry cloth towel. Once completely dry brush it with a suede brush to reduce rain spots and damage of your designer handbag.
