Caring for your bags!

For people like me who treat bags like my own kids, well do you care for your bags? Normally I dun really baby my bags when I am using it, but when I reached home I will check to make sure if there are any stains on my bags especially those light color bags. For Louis Vuitton bags, generally they are quite easy to take care, cos most of the bags are made of canvas except for the handle part.


For those untreated leather , I will use apple guard to spray on the vachetta leather before using the bag. The spray will prevent the leather from getting water stain/dirty. But it will still turned honey brown after sometime. But I personally think that the spray will helps to prolong the leather from turning honey brown. The other spray is the colonil spray purchase from Mulberry and recommended by TPF too, so far no review cos I have not use it yet. I recommend to spray twice for the 1st time and once every six months.

Some of things you might need, non-alcohol baby wipes, brasso, mink oil, magic eraser and a cloth.

LV padlock tarnish easily, so I used brasso to clean it but then again it will still tarnish after sometime. Can you see the different before and after?

I will used the baby wipes to wipe my bags, cos you won't know how much germs this bag picked up outside.

For those treated leather eg : Damier ebene, I will polished them with mink oik to prevent them from cracks/peeling.

Magic eraser, recommended by TPF also, it helps to erase stain from the vachette leather but do note it will drys out the leather. But I rather it appear dry then dirty.

Just wet the eraser with water and the stain will come off easily.

Due to our humid weather, try to air your bags once every two weeks.

And last but not least, get a stuffer pillow to keep all your bags in shape!

Enjoy your bags!
