Consider these tips when you use your handbag:

1.) Store it in its dust bag cover or use a natural fiber soft pillow-cover.

2.) Handle your bag, especially lighter bags with clean hands.

3.) Avoid handling your bag after applying beauty products, such as face foundations or hand creams. 

4.) Try not to use your bag as a rest to place paper and write notes.  Pointed pens can leave impressions and marks through paper rested on firm leathers.

5.) If your bag has a chain handle, store the chain inside the bag to avoid scratching the outside leather when the bag is resting.

6.) For storage, use bubble wrap to stuff your bags as it does not attract moths in the same way as tissue paper does.

7.) Avoid taking your special bag to the supermarket.  Shopping carts can scratch your bag and mark it permanently, as can spillages from foodstuffs such as cream, dips, fruit, milk, and even leaking cleaning products.

8.) For long term storage, undo strap buckles so that impressions are not created.
