How To Store Your Designer Handbags
BASICS & CARE
Storing Your Designer Bag
Proper storage is essential to maintain the condition of your bag. To prepare your bag for storage, follow these tips...
Tip #1: Clean Your Bag
First, make sure that your bag is clean. Regular cleaning is essential, but deep cleaning before storage is even more so.
Tip #2: Stuff It
This tip is dependant on the shape and material of your bag. You must stuff your bag so that its structure is supported. If understuffed, you risk your bag creasing permanently or becoming misshapen.
Tip #2: Stuff It
You can use small pillows, unused scarves, and even dye-free paper to stuff your bag and offer the support it needs to maintain its shape. Be careful not to overstuff it, or else the material may stretch.
Tip #3: Tuck Away Extra Accessories
If your bag has other features or accessories, it’s important to consider wrapping them up and tucking them away. Chains or heavy handles that are left to sit against the bag itself are subject to leaving indentations in the material.
Tip #3: Tuck Away Extra Accessories
If it’s a removable feature, you can detach it, wrap it up in a clean paper towel, and tuck it into the stuffing inside of the bag. If it can’t be detached, simply wrap it up with a clean paper towel to alleviate contact with the bag itself.
Tip #4: Cover It Up
Once your bag is cleaned and stuffed, we highly recommend that it is stored in a dust bag. Bags have a tendency to discolor over time, especially when exposed to prolonged artificial or natural light.
