We have some real gems that you will adore to bits and pieces. So I through this venture have learned allot about vintage handbag care. I am learning allot about repairing them. What I loved about vintage is its affordable and unique. I have always chosen pieces I can actually use in my daily life. I think purses like people need to have a life and see the light of day.

How to Care your Vintage Handbag 

Clean the interior of the bag by removing small particles of dirt with a lint or fabric brush. Wipe the interior of the bag with a damp cloth.

• Add a small amount of silver or brass polisher to a piece of cloth and lightly polish your purse's hardware. Remove excess polish and buff clean.
• You can use a lint brush on bags with a velvet finish 
• Rub zippers with beeswax to keep them running smoothly and easily up the zipper track. Apply a small amount of WD-40 to a rusted zipper to remove rust.

Also when your not using the bag make sure to keep it in a dry moisture free area out of the sun. I get cedar blocks to put in mine also as good mouth prevention. I think cedar is nicer then moth balls. All of the bags you have will have a light mildew smell depending on how they were kept. Vintage is over 20 years old. The cedar helps eliminate that musty smell.
