How to store your handbag? Our smartest ideas!!

How to organize your handbag?
We’ve all experienced that frustrating moment of searching for our keys or favorite lipstick in the depths of our bag. That’s why a well-organized handbag is crucial. Not only does it save you time, but it also protects your belongings from scratches and other damage.
Using pockets and dividers:
The first tip is simple but super effective: use pouches. Whether it's for your makeup, keys or hygiene products, separating them into different little pouches can really make all the difference. This prevents items from moving around and getting damaged, and you always know where to find what you need without having to rummage around.
Optimize space:
Next, let's talk about space optimization. If your bag is a bit deep, consider storing your things vertically. For example, keep your diary or wallet standing on one side. You'll see, this frees up space and everything remains more visible and accessible!
Clean regularly:
And finally, don't forget to clean your bag regularly. Do it once a week—yes, it seems like a lot, but it's the secret to not accumulating old receipts, crushed candy, and other forgotten little treasures. It only takes a few minutes, and you'll feel so much better afterwards.
I hope these tips help you keep your handbag beautifully organized and more functional. Remember, a tidy bag is the beginning of a tidy (or almost) life! For more tips, check out our leather and care page.

How to store a handbag?
Taking care of your handbags is essential to prolong their life and maintain their aesthetics. Here are some specific tips to ensure the proper preservation of your precious accessories:
Filling
Keep the bag stuffed with tissue paper to maintain its shape. This keeps the sides of the bag from sagging or folding when not in use. Be sure to use acid-free paper to avoid any damage to the interior lining or hardware of the bag.
Dust protection
Use covers for unused bags to protect them from dust. Fabric covers are preferable to plastic bags because they allow the material to breathe, preventing moisture buildup that can lead to mold or other damage.
Avoid direct exposure to sunlight
Preserve the colors and materials of your handbags by avoiding direct exposure to sunlight. UV radiation can fade and degrade leather and other materials over time. Store your bags in a place out of direct sunlight, ideally in a closet or closed cabinet.
