Tips or Tricks for Keeping Bag Looking New

Wash it every 3 days if you are using it regularly and keep it in dry place then it's look new

To keep the bottoms of my handbags flat and the insides clean, I make a template of the bottom of the bag by turning it over and drawing an outline with a marker onto those flexible cutting boards or clear plastic place mats and then cutting it out and placing it inside on the bottom of my bag. It is easy to do and cheap. Avoid sharp edges and round off the corners. I sometimes cover the edge with colorful masking tape, so that it is smooth, but not always. They add no weight, but really help keep it clean and flat. Even helped a few older warped bags that my sister had not stored properly. I, too, store my bags stuffed and in pillow cases or sleeper bags.

Nice

condition the leather well! especially smooth leathers if you don't want cracks to develop.

Please recommend a good waterproofing spray for leather/suede handbags that I can purchase locally in Canada. I can't buy the Apple Brand here. THANK YOU!

It is not a bad advice indeed - there are some types you can wash regularly still the majority of materials are not clever to wash regularly. (Of course if you meant wipe with wet rug - it is ok)

I always make sure not to hang them in my closet, but rather set them on a shelf in a dust bag. By not hanging it ensures that the handles or straps will not stretch out over time. Also at the first notice of a color transfer from denim or other clothing, I make sure to take a leather cleaner to the bag. The best luck I have had is with Leather Magic's Nubuck Leather Cleaner because it is gentle for untreated leathers while still maintaining the color. This way the color transfer will not sink in.
