INTRODUCTION • Knowing how to clean a leather handbag without ruining it is a useful life hack • Whether you've invested in a designer bags or you’ve picked up a steal on the high street, leather bags are designed to stand the test of time • While you might love the idea of taking your bag to a specialist to be pampered and cleaned every month, for many of us, that's not very realistic • But there are many steps you can take at home to to clean your designer bag in detail

3. FOR A QUICK CLEAN UP • Start by cleaning the designer bag inside and outside, creating a foam with the cleaning solution, and massaging it into the bag • Leave to dry for a couple of minutes before applying the protection cream. Take extra care with the handles, corners, and frequently touched areas • This process takes no more than 15 minutes and could save you a fortune on restoration treatment in the future

4. REMOVING LIQUID STAINS Start by blotting the stained area as soon as possible with a clean, dry cloth or tissue. You want to absorb as much of the liquid as possible Once you have removed the excess liquid, you should then blot the stained area with a damp cloth or tissue using warm water only Start at the outside of the stain and work inwards. This will stop the stain from spreading outwards. If you have one of the Handbag Care Kits, you should clean the stained area with it

5. As before, you should then proceed to dab the stained area with a dry cloth or tissue to absorb any left-over water or cleaner • Never rub the stained area as this can cause the stain to spread • Your designer bag is best left to dry in a warm room. Do not apply heat directly to the stained area as this can set the stain • If any staining remains once dried, you can contact a bag cleaning specialist
