Just wondering, if i live in Singapore and it's super humid here, do i need to moisturise my bags? Or should i be buying a dehumidifier instead?

I've never really thought much about bag care.

I just pack with the tissue the bags come it and that's it...
I live in So Fl so I understand humidity lol. That being said I don’t think moisturizing is necessary, but I do it a few times a year with an all in one cleaner/moisturizer . I used to have issues with mildew on bags, but after buying a small dehumidifier a few years ago, no issues. I bought one of the Eva-dry models off Amazon.

I really like sauro tan vacchetta; it is so classic and classy, I wonder if it would make the Valerie look too much like a brief case, not a handbag??? Thoughts?
While it probably will look a bit briefcasey at a first glance, it has enough feminine elements (the top handle, studs etc) that it probably won't veer 100% into a brief category.

I am in North East Florida and fortunately we have an entire house dehumidifier which is great. I also clean/moisturize my bags a few times a year.

Tobacco Aquila Matte Penelope Messenger arrived - absolutely gorgeous. With this I received 3 Polsino cuffs. The Mauve Aquila Matte is just gorgeous - my favourite of the three. Dark Teal Diamond is great as is Sugarcane Pompei. My only comment is that the cuff seems a bit wide (maybe wearing them will smoosh them down) and that the medium seems a bit big. I will take them to a cobbler to have an extra hole punched so that I can make them slightly tighter.
 
My bag of choice today. Little Valerie in blush Pompei with GHW.

As much as I love blue as a color and sugarcane is such a sweet sweet color, I feel that pairing it with little Valerie makes it too young for me. I decide to gift it to my niece who turn 15 last week. She’ll come pick it up this evening. Finger crossed that she’ll like it as much as I do. [emoji4]

I also have another one in Cherry red Nappa which I’m on the fence between gifting it to another niece for simply keep it for myself. But I’ll make a decision on that later. [emoji4]

The Pompei is surprisingly light and bendy. I mean it can bend while holding its shape very well. And it’s super smooth like a nice skating rink or fine china. I’m surprised I like touching it. This may become my choice of leather if I want to order a structured bags from Marco again.

Beautiful color! [emoji173]️

Hey Jaspearl, I’m in Singapore too! Me, msd and Vink have an informal SEA swap group, it’s good to have more members! About the humidity issue, mold is a big problem in Singapore but if you put those dehumidifier tubs like Hungry Hippo in your closet, you’ll be fine. I personally buy the charcoal ones from Watsons and they work well for me. Just be careful to put them in a corner where they can’t be knocked over since they fill up with liquid.
