Handbags, like fine jewelry, should be treated as an investment. With proper care, your favorite handbags will stand the test of time. There are many things you can do to prolong the life expectancy of your handbag. Here are a few general tips to keep in mind >>>
Canvas
Canvas handbags should be treated with a fabric care spray before it is first worn. This allows the bag to repel dirt and water. Spray a small amount on an inconspicuous area of the bag first to see if any color change occurs. If the handbag is made of other materials in addition to canvas, be extremely careful to avoid those areas when using the spray.
Salt stains might appear as a result of bad weather conditions. They should be removed immediately to prevent the canvas from cracking. Canvas handbags may be cleaned by simply hand washing with a gentle brush and some mild soap. Allow the handbag to air dry. Never apply heat to quicken the drying process as that can destroy the material.
