How do I keep my handbag looking its best?
Wipe your bag with a soft, damp cloth and store it in a dust bag or pillowcase when not in use. Avoid overloading to maintain its shape, and tuck any chain handles inside to prevent scratches. Always check the care label for specific tips based on the material.
