Your taste in fashion is a story about yourself that you choose to tell the world. Everything you wear, from the loud, devastatingly chic silver hoops in your ears to the sturdy leather bag exuding raw power strapped across your shoulder, is an element of that captivating story.
In today’s fast-paced world, our perceptions of others and vice versa are based on snap judgments, a good vibe, and a charming conversation. So how do you convince anyone you’re the person to talk to? How do you dazzle others while losing nothing of your own originality and taste? We’ve got the answer – by accessorizing, of course!
What you decide goes with your overall look, and defines your taste in the fashion world. A charcoal leather tote bag paired with minimalistic corduroy pants and a rich plum-colored turtle neck? Low effort yet sophisticated. A bayong leather bag stealing the spotlight with its lemon-yellow leather handle contrasting seamlessly with your sumptuous silk rainbow dress? Fresh and fabulous.
Leather bags take you from basic to bomb, and if you haven’t already guessed it, in this article, we will tell you all about the various benefits of spending your money on leather bags, what they’re all about, where to buy them from and how to get them at the best price. Let’s get into it!
Why leather bags and how to care for them
Leather bags have been around for a while, but no one can argue as to why they haven’t been phased out or disappeared into the recesses of fashion history – they’re just a classic must-have! We’ve all bought a satchel or a tote bag or crossbody at one point or the other in our lives, and with each passing era of changing fashion trends, leather bags have held their ground, evolving to become more efficient and aesthetically pleasing – boasting a wonderful marriage of functionality and style.
How to clean leather bags?
If you want to keep your leather bags in pristine condition, cleaning them should be a weekly routine.
A mixture of shampoo and water in equal parts is your cleaning solution. Use a white cloth and gently wipe the exterior of the bag after dipping it in the solution. Then use a wet cloth to clean away any foam residue, and finally, use a dry towel to wipe the bag so that there are no water stains left on it.
It’s important to use a white cloth to do the initial cleaning as colored ones tend to transfer their color onto the leather, and it’s necessary to wipe the bag’s surface with a dry cloth in the end as dampness may lead to mold formation.
