Follow these tips for protecting your synthetic, leather and suede purses and designer handbags:

·    Wipe off leather purses and handbags with a clean, moist cloth before applying any spray or cream protection treatments.

·    Treat your leather or suede accessories with the appropriate weatherproof sprays for added protection.

·    Purses, handbags and luggage made of synthetic materials are easily maintained and can be wiped clean with a moist cloth, and if soiled, a spot remover.

·    If you use a leather cream to preserve your handbag opt for a transparent brand that wont rub off on your clothes and hands.

·    Remove dust and dirt from suede purses and handbags with a suede brush or a terry cloth towel.

·    Try to keep leather (especially suede handbags and purses) from getting wet. If you get caught in the rain with your suede purse, let it dry at room temperature then pad it dry with a terry cloth towel. Once completely dry brush it with a suede brush to reduce rain spots and damage of your designer handbag.
