How To Take Care Of Your Leather Handbag

At Veloisse, we believe that luxury is not just about purchasing a leather bag but about nurturing it so it lasts through the years. A high-quality bag is not just an accessory; it’s an investment in your personal style. Don’t wait until your bag gets damp, moldy, or deformed before taking it to a maintenance shop Not only is it expensive and troublesome to maintain, but it may not be able to restore its original appearance afterward. In fact, through simple daily maintenance, you can make your beloved bag last longer!

1. Prevent Water and Oil Stains

Although some genuine leather bags are waterproof, if you don’t wipe them dry in time after getting them wet, water stains will remain on the surface, and the bag will also be wrinkled and deformed! After the bag gets wet, gently wipe off the water with a soft, clean cotton cloth. Note that many leather bags cannot come into contact with oil, such as ostrich skin, snake skin, crocodile skin, lamb skin, etc. Such leather bags should not come into contact with oil.

2. Sun Protection and Crack Prevention

Bags will crack if exposed to water, and will also become cracked, wrinkled or discolored if exposed to the sun for a long time. Be careful not to expose your bags to the sun, and also prevent them from being baked! Genuine leather bags are very delicate and cannot be used in environments with too high or too low temperatures, nor in environments that are too dry or too humid. When using a bag, be sure to monitor environmental changes to prevent cracking and deformation.

3. Anti-Scratch and Anti-Break

Bags are usually used to carry cosmetics, not other heavy items. I have seen my friend use branded bags as shopping bags and put items like meat or vegetables in them, so the bags were damaged after being left like this for a long time, so try not to put too heavy things in your bag, and avoid dirtying and scratching the bags. We recommend that you pay attention to avoid breaking or scratching the bags when using them.

4. Regular Maintenance

Bags are delicate and need regular maintenance. If you want to cherish your bags like me, please maintain your bags regularly. For daily maintenance of leather bags, it is recommended to use Walrus Leather Hand Mask. Wipe the three sides A, B, and C to clean, nourish, and polish. It can be done in a few minutes. It is simple and fast!

If used for a long time, it can also help with waterproofing, anti-corrosion, anti-mildew, and anti-aging. If you find that the handbag has creases or wrinkles, adjust the hair dryer to a low gear and blow gently on the wrinkles.

5. Change to a different bag each time & store it properly

The same bag cannot be used every day, it should be changed frequently. Genuine leather bags are elastic. After a long time of use, the surface of the leather will become wrinkled and deformed, and the recovery time is also long. Frequent use of bags can effectively avoid damage caused by deformation. If conditions permit, you can save money to buy a favorite bag to use alternately. The unused bags can be stuffed with old newspapers, foam, and old clothes to maintain the shape of the bag!

If the bag is not used for a long period, it should be properly stored. Before storing it, the bag should be thoroughly cleaned, and then old newspapers and foam are stuffed into the bag to ensure that the bag does not deform! When storing the bag, pay attention to moisture-proof. You can wrap the bag with a dustproof bag and put it in a box. The packaging box when buying the bag is a very good storage box. Pay attention to moisture-proof and insect-proof when storing it!
