How to Make Your Cherished Bag Last Longer

[Fam Times Reporter Cho Yun-ha] If you have a favorite bag, you will want to use it for a long time, regardless of its price or brand.

The important thing is how much you like that bag and whether you want to keep it in good condition.

There are several simple ways to keep your precious bag looking like new for years to come.

You should never place your bag on the floor. The floor can contain various bacteria and other unpleasant things.

Of course, you wouldn't want to put your precious bag on the floor. Always place your handbag on the back of a chair, your lap, or an adjacent seat. It is also a good idea to purchase a portable handbag hook that you can carry anywhere to prevent your bag from falling to the floor.

Bags must be stored properly. You can use a bag longer if you store it the right way rather than tossing it into a closet haphazardly. Bags should be stored upright inside a dust bag or a cotton pillowcase.

To maintain the shape of the interior, place a scarf, a sweater, or a shape-maintaining insert inside. Cross the handles to prevent wear, and remove the straps for storage.

To remove odors, fill a plastic bag with baking soda and place it inside the bag for one to two days.

Over-cleaning your bag is not good.

Over-cleaning a bag leads to the use of more chemicals, which can cause damage to the bag.

Hold your bag with clean hands. It is best not to touch it if your hands are dirty or covered in lotion or cream.

It is good to rotate the bags you use. If you use only one bag, it will wear out more quickly, so you should use them alternately to prevent them from wearing or tearing.
