Store Leather Bags

Leather bags will last a long time when properly stored.


Most leather bags, such as purses and luggage, are designed to withstand years of use. When choosing a classic leather bag that won't go out of style, pick one made of high-quality, durable materials. Care for the bag properly to get the maximum years of usage out of it. When you're tired of using a leather bag, or if it's out of season, store it under the right conditions until it rotates back into your wardrobe. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Dust the leather bag with a soft, damp cloth prior to storing it. Dry the bag thoroughly using a soft cloth.


2. Apply a leather conditioner to the bag to ensure it is in perfect condition when you take it out of storage. Place a creamy leather conditioner on a soft cloth and rub it onto the leather bag; don't apply the conditioner directly to the bag. Allow the bag to air-dry.


3. Empty a leather purse and fill it with plastic bubble wrap so it will retain its shape while in storage. Place a metal chain strap inside the bag so it doesn't scratch the leather.


4. Place the leather bag into a protective dust bag cover designed for leather storage use. Wrap the leather purse in a soft cotton pillow case if you don't have a dust bag.


5. Store the leather bag in a cool, dry location such as a closet shelf or a large drawer. Keep the bag out of direct sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather material.
