Handbags

Here are some care instructions to help you keep your handbag it in excellent condition:

1. Store it properly: When you're not using your handbag, store it in a dust bag or a box to protect it from dust and sunlight. Avoid storing it in a place with high humidity or extreme temperatures.
2. Clean it regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away dust and dirt from the surface of your handbag. For deeper cleaning, you can use a leather cleaner or a damp cloth. Always test the cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area first to make sure it doesn't cause any damage.
3. Avoid exposure to water: Water can damage leather, so avoid using your handbag in the rain or exposing it to water in any other way. If your handbag gets wet, wipe it dry with a soft, dry cloth and let it air dry away from heat sources.
4. Avoid contact with oils and chemicals: Avoid placing your handbag on surfaces that have oils or chemicals on them, such as kitchen counters or tables with cleaning products on them. These substances can damage the leather.
5. Handle it with care: Be gentle when handling your handbag to avoid scratching or scuffing the leather. Avoid overfilling your handbag, as this can damage the shape of the bag.

By following these care instructions, you can help your luxury handbag stay in excellent condition for years to come.

Straps

If you have handmade straps for a bag or another accessory, here are some care instructions to help you maintain their quality:

1. Store them properly: When you're not using your handmade straps, store them in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight. You can hang them on a hook or store them in a drawer, as long as they're not bent or folded in a way that could cause creases.

2. Clean them regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away any dust or dirt on the surface of the straps. If you need to clean them more thoroughly, you can use a damp cloth with a mild soap or a leather cleaner. Always test the cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area first to make sure it doesn't cause any damage.

3. Avoid exposure to water: Water can damage leather or other materials used for handmade straps. Avoid using them in the rain or exposing them to water in any other way. If your straps get wet, wipe them dry with a soft, dry cloth and let them air dry away from heat sources.

4. Handle them with care: Be gentle when handling your handmade straps to avoid stretching, tearing, or scuffing them. Don't over-tighten them or put too much weight on them, as this could cause them to snap or warp.

5. Use leather conditioner: If your handmade straps are made of leather, you can use a leather conditioner to keep them soft and supple. Apply the conditioner with a soft cloth and buff off any excess with a dry cloth. This will also help protect the leather from cracking or drying out over time.

By following these care instructions, you can help your handmade straps stay in excellent condition and extend their lifespan.
