BAGHAGS: maintainance, storage and repair

[genericme]

I saw leather cleaners in Ecco and Naturalizer stores in the mall. The salesperson said that they are safe to use on light colored leather bags. Has anyone tried it?  I want to try it sana to clean a cream colored coach leather bag.

^  Hi, genericme.   The Ecco or Naturalizer leather cleaner is intended for shoes, not for bags.  The leather cleaner for shoes is much more harsh than the leather cleaner for bags.  You should use a leather cleaner intended for bags.  Coach has a leather cleaner but I'm not sure if it's available locally.  There are local resellers of Apple leather cleaner and Lovin' My Bags leather cleanser.  These are really made for leather bags.

Bag_Snob, thanks so much for the info! Appreciate it. I almost bought the leather cleaner but I had reservations. Good thing.

^  I buy the LMB products either at the LMB site => http://www.lovinmybags.com or from a Multiply reseller => http://hippopanunut.multiply.com/photos/album/233/LMB_Products_Now_Available.  The Apple products are available here => http://bagcentral.multiply.com/photos/album/167/JUST_ARRIVED-Apple_Leather_Care_Products, or at several online sites (U.S.).

I use Apple leather cleaner and conditioner too from Purse Podium. I find this cleaner really good. I could really take off dirt and also it comes with a cloth na which I like kasi dati bimpo gamit ko eh harsh pala yun . I also got my yellow  bag pouches from her  to store my bags. Nice kasi may color yung pouches nya yellow, blue or maroon. =)

baghags, how do you store your bags?

if they have boxes, do you keep them in their boxes? or just in their dust bags? do you have bag shapers that you put inside the bags when not in use?

do you put them in shelves? if so, how? syempre dapat upright side by side (never one on top of another unless they are in boxes).

i've recently just taken interest in widening my bag collection kasi so my walk in closet wasn't really designed with bags in mind (just tons of shoes pero kulang pa din  my shelves).

i'm thinking of how i can store my bags - might need to have another cabinet made for them, maybe with a glass door. or maybe i can modify the shelves in my walk-in closet (modular naman so easy to change shelf height).

thanks.

same questions...

I bought an underbed plastic box (tupperware style) to store my bags.  Di naman madami bags ko, i just have like 6 quality bags.  I find them nice stored on there kasi free from dust, insects and good storage talaga siya.

same here.

but i put my bags inside their dustbags first before piling them inside the big plastic box. 

pwede pa i-padlock yung box for security and wheels so that madali lang i-pull out.  these are available at ace hardstore.

Problem:  Yung bag ng friend ko, na-slashed, while naka-pila sa cashier sa SM.  Stressed talaga sya ngayon, naawa naman ako kasi kakabili nya lang yon sa HK, few weeks ago lang.  Sort of souvenir kasi first time nya mag out of the country.  May ma-a-advice pa kayo, anything para ma-revive yung bag nya.  Iniisip ko kung pwede palagyan ng nice patch whatever, para lang matakpan?

here's the pics, para you can have a visual kung pano,

Ingat din kayo sisses, kahit sa malls, may mga masasamang loob pa rin.  Tsk, tsk.
