HELP! Mold in inner pockets of Caviar!

[Jaded81]

I was devastated to find that my caviar flap has mold at the bottoms of all the pockets. I don’t know how I am going to remove the mold without is spreading everywhere and then air it because the pockets closes naturally... there is no way for it to be aired.

Can anyone offer suggestions on how to clean and air it?

If you live in the south where humidity is high, you will run across mold on leather or some of your gear from time to time.

Maybe you could dry them out using a hair dryer at a low setting?

no worries! I had a lot of mould on my vintage mini when I first received it. Use some Cadillac boot and shoe shine with baby wipes, that cleans and gets rid of mould.

now my bag is mould free! All the best.

problem is that it is really deep inside... I guess that is an option. would have to hold the pockets open quite awhile.. worried the bag will get out of shape
