Purse Prime's PRIVATE BAG SPA SESSION

Hey Purse Pals!

Long time no see here at the Purse Prime Blog, eh?  Well things have been a bit of a flurry after Purse Prime's Private Bag Spa Session and with prep time for Purse Prime's booth at the Carnivale Event next weekend, Sept 18!

But before we get giddy for that, I'm sure you're all wondering what went down at the bag spa session.  After going through albums from the photos event, we've finally managed to get them organized for you all to enjoy and see.

First off, our thanks go out to our top bloggers (who happen to be certified bag lovers as well) present at the event!  Namely,

• Earth of earthlingorgeous.com : Bag Sparty meet with bag-aholics and Purse Prime
• Roanne of allthevanity.com : Purse Prime Private Bag Spa Session
• Jackie of gojackiego.com
• Jehann of dailyfashionista.blogspot.com : Bag Spa at Purse Prime
• Michelle of mrsmartinezrantsandraves.blogspot.comm
• Angela of lushangel.com
• Mewa of Love My Bags
• Iya of iyawritenow.wordpress.com
• Nasia of nasche.tumblr.com
• Bianca of Party Painters
• LJ of Sari Manila

We sincerely enjoyed our bag talks and while it must have felt like bag-aholics anonymous, its mostly about getting bag care education out there and giving our investments the care they deserve right?

While we would love to get into the nitty gritty details at the event, it would spoil the experience for our participants at the next bag spa session!  So instead, here's a sneak peak and hopefully, next time all our Purse Pals can be there with us!


P.S.  You can read about the bag spa experience via the blog links we posted!

Bag Priming Basics

Finally! Finally! Finally you got your hands on that bag that you've been lusting on for months now. Don't we all just love that feeling of taking it out of the box for the first time? The smell of a new purse... the scratch free finish.. oh sheer heaven! Wish you could keep your bag looking as perfect as it did when you got it out from the store?

BAG PRIMING

Priming your bags is the best way to keep your bag in pristine condition. Bag priming involves applying leather conditioner followed up by a water repellent treatment. 

Applying Leather Conditioner ensures that your bag is supple meaning it wont dry out and crack or have unwanted wrinkles. If the bag is suede, patent, or non-leather, skip the conditioning.  What we also love about leather conditioners is it also acts as a mild cleaner so no need to get a separate Leather Cleaner to remove accumulated dust and dirt on the bag.  We've discovered that Balenciagas and Chanels love the Meltonian conditioner, while Apple Care is mild enough for most designer leather bags.

Next step is to WATERPROOF, WATERPROOF, WATERPROOF! We cannot stress enough how important this step is. Waterproofing is the best thing you can do to your bag. Applying Apple Garde Rain & Stain repellent keeps unwanted moisture from penetrating the material of the bags... thus preventing stains. Waterproofing also minimizes the possibility of mold and mildew from infesting your bag during storage.

HOW TO PRIME
Priming shouldn't  be tedious process. Simply apply your conditioner of choice using a professional shine cloth, leave and let dry. Do your make-up... have a bubble bath. No need to babysit the bags while the conditioner dries. Once conditioner is dry, buff with the horse hair shoe brush. Follow up with the Apple Garde spray and let dry. Apple Garde usually take only a couple of minutes to dry. So if you have time to spare you may do 3 coatings of the Apple Garde. Just make sure to let it dry in between coatings.

The sooner the bag is Primed the better. So soon as you get home from the store, examine your brand new purchase and prime away!  Get your Bag Priming kits at the Purse Prime Store!
