Harsh sunlight, even through the glass can damage the leather and cause discolouration. Hanging it on the chair or handles after a long day might seem obvious, resist the temptation. Experts recommend storing bags in upright position in dust bags, or original boxes in earmarked shelves. Stuff them with acid-free tissue or even soft t-shirts and scarves to save space and&nbsp;maintain the shape over the years.

Luxury leather is designed to stand the test of time; learning how to clean without ruining it is a life hack which will serve you well. Always ask the brand for detailed instructions on the best way to keep it clean, but basic tips include using a soft, dry cotton cloth to swipe it down.
Refrain from harsh cleaning agents; incase of a spill, dab alcohol-free wipes (alcohol is known to dry out the surface), leave it for a couple of minutes and apply a protection cream for a solid conditioning. Just like you moisturise your skin, leather goods need conditioning to avoid drying out and cracking over time. Focus on cleaning the high-touch areas around the handles, corners and base, remember to buff off any excess.&nbsp;Having the specially designed cleaning and protecting agents for the leather on your bag is an investment you will not regret.&nbsp;
3. Moisture is the nemesis

Luxury bags are studier but not invincible, especially not to humidity. Moisture is the enemy of leather and Hong Kong has oodles of it.&nbsp;Never discard the silica gel sachets which come with your bag, in fact keep replacing them and add a dehumidifier in the closet to avoid mould and increase longevity.&nbsp;

4. Colour transfer

Accidentally wearing a dark coloured dress with a beige bag can cause colour stains. Here prevention is better than cure because when leather comes in contact with wet surfaces, the dye can bleed causing a notorious stain. Be quick to act, patch test with a high grade leather cleanser, immediately stop if the original colour is wearing out. If the stain has not settled, chances are you will be able to take it out; heading to a professional cleaner is the next best solution.&nbsp;
5. Handbag liner is a solid investment
The best way to maintain pristine insides of your bag is to invest in a liner. Not only will a liner make it feasible to swap bags at the last minute, it helps in organising your essentials and makes for room for extra pockets.&nbsp;
