Finally, it is crucial for you to maintain good care of your bag as you wear it. Simple, easy steps can ensure your bag lives a longer, cleaner, and nicer-looking life.

1. Do not wear leather bags if it’s raining. Rain will ruin your leather, it is as simple as that.

2. Never dump your make up or pen into your bag. Use a make up pouch, preferably one that has a water-proof exterior to prevent any spillages from leaking onto your bag. Store your pen inside your make up pouch as it can stain the interiors and even exteriors of your bag.

3. Make sure your hands are dry when handling your bag, cream and definitely dirt will stain your precious bag.

4. If your bag is a designer one, the interiors and linings are crucial in their value. So never put sharp objects in your bag without wrapping them, this also goes for keys. Simply wrap sharp objects in a small cloth, paper towel or store them in a small pouch.

5. You need to keep the receipt, authenticity card and paperwork for your designer bag, if ever you choose to sell them, it is crucial to have these documentations to prove authenticity. Even the original dust bag will add value to your vintage Chanel.
