If there’s one thing we ladies love more than shoes, it’s bags. Enough said. The problem with bags though is that if we don’t take proper care of them, they’ll eventually wear out and we’ll be crying our eyes out. Which brings us to the question at hand: how to keep bags in shape enough to last us a decade?
The answer is as simple as the need to remember that the things we own can’t possibly take care of themselves unless we make sure they’re okay at all costs. Now we know it’s hard to understand that the purses we pay a fortune for can actually wear out, but the truth is, they’re more prone to deterioration than anything else really. And so, if you want your bag to stay a classic mainstay in your wardrobe, here are a few steps to help you keep them in good shape:
- First and foremost, as your dear-old purse rests peacefully in your closet, make sure it is well stuffed with anything really, just to maintain its shape. Some people use carton, newspaper or any piece of cloth really – the choice is yours. This trick will help keep your purse as intact as it was meant to be.
- Another important point is to always keep it in its respective dust bag. It came with it for a reason!
- Now here’s a tip to keep your bag clean after wearing it. Spray it with a stain repellent – a product that will keep its shine lasting for years!
- Storing your bag on a shelf can go a long way, especially if said bag is made out of delicate materials.
- When wearing your purse, make sure all your liquids – such as creams and lotions – are stacked in a mini-bag. Because who wants to have them explode in your precious bag?
- Lastly, wipe your bag with a soft cloth every week or so to give it that “I just bought it now” flair!
