When you take the plunge and purchase a designer handbag, this should be considered an investment. You should care for your purse just like you would any other expensive investment. If the bag is worth a large chunk of money, it’s important to keep it looking nice and well cared for.

Most designer handbags come with a dust bag cover for storage. If not, use a natural fiber pillowcase. Use this cover when the handbag is not in use to prevent dust or moth damage. If the bag will be stored for a long period, undo any buckles so they do not make impressions on the leather. Also, fill the bag with bubble wrap for storage to help the purse maintain its shape without attracting moths as tissue paper sometimes does. Do not use plastic bags to store your leather bags. The dust cover is also a good place to keep receipts and tags that identify the designer bag in case you need to have the company repair it.

When handling your bag, make sure your hands are clean to protect the leather from getting dingy. Especially avoid handling the purse after beauty products, such as lotion or makeup, have been used. The chemicals and oils in these products can leave unsightly fingerprints on your leather that are hard to remove. Also, avoid taking your bag inside when you visit a beauty or nail salon. If you have to leave it on the floor, it could be ruined by clipping of chemically treated hair or the chemicals themselves.

Bag liners can be purchased in a variety of colors and might be a good investment option for owners of designer handbags. These liners protect the inside of the bag from damage from makeup or lotions inside your purse. They are also especially handy for people who change bags often. The liner enables you to change bags quickly and in one fail swoop without having to rearrange and reorganize every little thing.

Cleaning of your bag is also an important and essential step to keeping it in tip top shape. It is a good idea to contact the company that manufactured the bag to inquire what their suggestions are for cleaning or stain prevention. These companies might have a special stain prevention product to help deflect stains from soaking into the leather. Some will also sell a special cleaner or paste to use with the leather of your bag to keep it clean. Most of these cleaners will be neutral and can be used with various colors of leather. Non-abrasive, soft cloth is recommended for any application of cleaner so as not to scratch the surface of the leather. When applying leather conditioner, make certain to apply it to the cloth and not directly to the leather.

There are stores and website dedicated to restoring the life back into designer handbags. These companies can care for the leather and get it back in like new condition. Repairs and maintenance will be suggested and offered at a low price after the original restoration.
