Hardware protectors

[Priscillapurse]

Hello guys! I came across an Instagram account that sells screen protectors for any designer handbag that goes over the hardware so that it doesn’t scratch. The ig name is @thehandbaghaven. I was wondering if this is safe to do or will it ruin the hardware if I were to put on a protector on it? I read somewhere that the protectors have acid on them and that it will stain the hardware. Was wondering if any of you guys use protectors ?

I personally wouldn’t. I live in a humid climate and I always remove the original plastic protectors right away when I get a new bag as it will cause the hardware to tarnish and/or discolor over time if left on.

I have their hardware protector on my mini rectangle. Nothing bad has come out of it so far, and I know a lot of people use it for their pochette metis.

Wow I did not know such thing exist! I wonder if they will peel off easily like the original plastic film that came with the bag... (Sorry I am not helping here haha)

Lol it’s okay ! Yeah I saw them on IG and wanted to know if it would harm the actual hardware in any way. I don’t want to risk it[emoji848]

Just use food plastic wrap girl.I use that to cover my bags' exposed hardware. So far so good.

I found these threads, not exactly about the company you mentioned. But it's interesting to see what people think when they leave the film on their bags, and nice to see someone did a bit of creative DIY!

Someone said they work perfect and only leave a little bit of residue but they come with wipes to remove that

I bought from that company to use on my LV favorite MM and my Pochette Métis. I have been using it on my Favorite for one year and it looks in pristine condition. I didn’t put on my PM yet because the original plastic was still good. I have no complaints and the protector is not peeling off

you can just use the phone screen protectors and cut them up

thats what these companies are doing anyways but charging a huge mark up for them
