HOW TO CLEAN YOUR LEATHER BAG:


How to Clean your B A G S T I L bag:

  1. Bagstil Handbags are designed in leathers that get better with age. However to keep your bags in top condition follow these guidelines. For all bags please avoid direct sunlight, heat, rain and oil.
  2. For cleaning your leather bag, empty all your contents and remove loose dirt by gently shaking your bag.
  3. With a dry cloth, wipe out the interior of your bag.
  4. Dip a damp (definitely not wet) cloth piece in a very mild detergent solution and wipe the surface of your leather bag. To make sure that the cloth piece is not wet, you can wring it out properly after dipping it in the solution.
  5. Dry your bag thoroughly in a dry, dark shaded location. You may want to avoid drying your bag under direct sunlight as this will make it dry and fade its color.
  6. Finally, apply a coat of leather conditioner/protector to maintain its original sheen and softness.
  7. Make sure to use the right kind of conditioning product for different types of leather as they require different types of care. Suede and Deerskin usually only require a protective spray.
  8. Saddle and finish leather will probably just need a conditioning cream every once in awhile.
  9. Saddles soaps and creams are good choices. Applying protective and conditioning products before using a leather bag, and at regular intervals once the bag is in use helps to prevent drying, cracking, staining and mildew. Always apply the product to a rag never directly onto the leather as that can cause staining.



STORE:

Store your bag in a dark, dry, cool place to prevent fading or mildew issues. Keep it in the dust-bag it came in. This helps prevent dirt from collecting on the bag and allows free airflow. Do not use plastic bags. Plastic bags emits chemicals that can damage the leather.

Bagstil: Made in California to do What it Says


Looking for a handbag line that you can ultimately take anywhere? Bagstil (Bag+Style) may just have the look and aestheticism you could be looking for! From compact clutches to take on an evening out to large and durable totes to suit the laptopping and working bagista, Bagstil has a variety of styles to meet the needs of a multitasking handbag enthusiast.

Made in California, Bagstil thrives in quality design and creative styling that ultimately has the function of going everywhere. As a California girl myself, there's nothing better in a handbag than its ability to go to work with my laptop in tow then to after-hours dinner without my laptop. Which is why my favorite handbag design by Bagstil is the This1: Travels Shoulder Bag. Functionality at its best and various color options make this bag perfect for any working girl like myself--and you should consider it too!

Designer, Cindy Gellerson, wanted to make quality handbags that would meet the needs of any jet-setting bagista. So, when she came up with Bagstil's designs, she knew she was on to something good. And with the help of her daughter's words, "This one!" Gellerson put two and two together in simply defining what each bag does: This1: Travels, This1: Clubs, This1: Shops, etc. Functional hardware, wearable styles and tassel embellishments make Bagstil's designs perfect for everyday wear.
