Hi, imma!  You'll find lots of tips on bag care in The Purse Forum of The Purse Blog.  I found something that might help... check this out => http://forum.purseblog.com/balenciaga-care-and-maintenance/how-to-clean-the-inside-of-my-bag-252023.html.  You can search through the forum for more tips using the Search TPF function.

Put some cotton inside your purse to keep it nice and dry.  Better yet use silica gel.

^^thanks a lot

^  BTW, once you've cleaned the fabric lining, to protect it from any further staining, you can spray Shining Monkey or Apple Garde Rain and Stain Repellent.  They work for both leather and fabric.

thanks - really appreciate it

i just called Vintage Restore yesterday to inquire. Sira kasi yung zipper nung vintage RL doctor's bag na pamana ni tita sakin, shock naman ako kasi 1800php daw. yikes.. may alam pa ba kayong mas mura na pwede pag pagawaan nito?

[kimebies]

^ You might wanna try calling Besa's.

[lima]

^^ Unforch, wala eh. OK yung TriNoma branch nila, they can do repair for 3-5 days lang.

Ano OK pang-clean sa soft leather bags? I've used MC-something cleaner and Kiwi's Saddle Soap pero wala pa rin. Parang colored pencil stain kasi.

[Bag_Snob]

^ You can try using Apple Leather Cleaner.  Got mine through here => http://bagcentral.multiply.com/.

i love my RL tote bag...  i have this for more than 8 years now! hindi ko talaga kayang i-dispose pero hindi ko na nagagamit 'cause parang pumutok na yung leather niya sa sides... has anyone here experienced this? san ninyo pinaayos?

^ My mum has experienced this with her Speedy 30 (Mono). We had it fixed in Besa's
