Your bags endure daily handling, weather exposure and constant contact with surfaces — accumulating grime, stains and wear that diminish their appearance. Whether it is a designer handbag worth thousands or a daily-use leather tote, professional cleaning restores both hygiene and aesthetics without the risks of home methods.
Types of Bags We Handle
Designer leather handbags — Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermes, Gucci, Prada. Each uses proprietary leathers requiring specific care protocols.
Everyday leather bags — totes, crossbodies, backpacks, briefcases. Regular care prevents cracking and fading.
Canvas & coated canvas — LV Monogram, Gucci GG, Goyard. Cleaned without saturating the coating or affecting the print.
Nylon bags — Prada Re-Nylon, Longchamp, Tumi. Hand-cleaned to protect hardware, linings and structure.
Suede & nubuck bags — extremely stain-prone. Dry-cleaning and steam only; no water or liquid cleaners.
Exotic skins & small leather goods — python, croc, ostrich; plus wallets, belts and purses with the same professional care scaled down.
Common Issues We Resolve
Colour transfer from denim onto light-coloured bags is the single most common issue we see — professional removal is possible on most leathers. Pen and ink marks are lifted with specialist solvents without spreading. Oil and grease stains from lotions, food and cosmetics are treated with leather-safe degreasers. Hardware tarnishing on zips, clasps and chains is polished and protected. Dried and cracked leather is restored with deep conditioning.
Our Bag Care Process
Material identification — determining exact leather type, coating and hardware to select appropriate products.
Interior cleaning — lining vacuumed, spot-treated and deodorised.
Exterior spot treatment — targeted stain removal before full-surface cleaning.
Full surface cleaning — gentle, hand-applied cleaners worked across the whole surface for even results.
Hardware polish & protection — metal components cleaned and polished; water/stain repellent applied.
Extending Your Bag's Lifespan
Store bags stuffed with acid-free tissue (newspaper ink transfers) in breathable dust bags. Never hang bags by their straps long-term. Rotate usage to avoid overloading one piece. Clean light-coloured bags monthly and dark bags every 2–3 months. Address stains immediately — the longer they sit, the deeper they penetrate.
