Secret Tips for Caring For Your Celine

Someone please help! I got some black pen marks on the faux suede of my drummed mini luggage. :sad: Does anyone know how I can remove the marks?

I think I have posted this here before, it is on my blog:
CLEANING AND CARING FOR SUEDE HANDBAGS
So, how do you to protect, clean, and remove stains from suede Celine bags?
  • Apply a protectant
  • Brush regularly with a firm, stiff brush
  • Clean with an unscented baby wipe
  • Use a dry eraser to remove stains
  • Keep it dry and stuff with tissue when not using
eHow in the UK used has a video that shows you how to remove stains step-by-step

Here is a link http://www.ehow.co.uk/video_5996057_clean-suede-handbag.html

They also have an article on cleaning colored suede http://www.ehow.co.uk/how_6926770_clean-colored-suede.html

Their resource was Mrs Clean, and this is a REALLY good article on removing stains http://www.housecleaningcentral.com/en/cleaning-tips/clothing/cleaning-suede.html

Thank u soooo mucch HeathJo!!
 
For all my natural leather bags (including my new celine smooth mini :biggrin:) I condition them with "apple leather care" conditioner prior to use. For smooth calf and pebbled leather, I also spray with Collonil for waterproofing.

Thanks for the tip! Do we need to use both apple and collonil? I just got a dune micro in pebbled leather and I'm so scared that it will rub on my jeans and get discolored!

I'm using both leather care and the collonil...cos I'm from very humid, rainy, & hot country... my bags need more protection...

Does anyone know how to keep the shape of the luggage bags? My shoulder luggage has shown a teeny bit of sagging after a couple months and it's really upsetting :sad:

Do you stuff it when not in use? I think that helps a lot.

Yes, stuffing it with tissue helps, and I think some gals use certain purse organizers or base shapers??? I wish I could remember the thread where I read about them, but maybe if you search you can find it.

How lucky was I today! I just used Collonil leather gel and waterstop spray on my luggage and today I got caught in a really heavy downpour. But my bag held up so well! I used a tissue for wiping off excess water (everybody must thought that I was nuts lol). The water that came off was a bit oily due to the leather gel. But now, a few hours later my bag is still in a perfect condition!
So I can recommend everyone to use a protection spray and conditioner! I do this with all my bags.

Thanks for the tip!
