PATENT CARE GUIDE

Lovely to look at, Pretty to hold, disaster if soiled. Such is the story of the patent handbag. It shouldn’t always be the case. A few precautionary steps and your patent handbag can remain sparkly like new.

• Patents bags are not vampires, they can take some sun. Although leaving them to sunbathe under the hot afternoon sun maybe a bit too much. Also, leaving your bag inside your car while it’s parked outdoors will surely bake the color off your prized bag.
• Patent is allergic to ink. Keep the Parker pens and Vogue Italias away.
• Denim Jeans are usual culprits for staining patent bags. You may want to rethink your outfit on days you want to carry your vernis purse.
• Always keep your Patent bags in their dust bags during storage. Prolonged contact with any dyed, printed, or painted surface may facilitate color transfer.  

After use, it is also advised that you clean your Patent bag with Esquire Patent and Patina Cleaner. This proven safe formula can remove dirt while keeping the luster on your patent bag. This little bottle of love may also remove light scuff marks from your purse.  Lucky for LV vernis carriers, this product may be used for the Vachetta handles too!(Check out special post on keeping bag handles clean) Get one now at the Purse Prime shop.

The cleaning solution for your loved LV Vernis

VASELINE FOR YOUR SKIN, ESQUIRE FOR YOUR BAG.

Only use cleaners specially formulated for patent, doing otherwise may cause the bag material to be sticky. Same goes for Vaseline and Alcohol. You already made a sizeable investment on the bag why risk cleaning it with just about anything you can find in the medicine cabinet? Newsflash, it’s not the 80s anymore.

On the dreaded the event that you do find a stain on your patent bag, time is most crucial. Try to have the stain removed as soon as possible, the longer you let it set the more likely it will become permanent. Some say a white rubber eraser from the bookstore can remove ballpen marks on your bag. A better alternative would be to use a few drops of Esquire Cleaner on a cotton ball and rub on the stained area.

ONLY HAPPY WHEN IT RAINS

With just a little more care, carrying your patent bag should not be a disaster waiting to happen. Oh and before we exchange buhbyes here’s a lil Purse Prime tip: Use your Patent bag on rainy days! Not only will it brighten up a gloomy day, its waterproof material can withstand a stronger drizzle than your usual everyday leather bag.  Now ain’t that smart?
