So, be sure to keep it elevated and out of harm’s way. You can even buy bag hooks to attach to tables when you’re out and about and in need of a bag holder!

Use a Dust Bag
When you buy a designer bag, it often comes with its own dust bag. So use it! When you’re not showing off your new pride and joy, keep it in the dust bag for safe storage. If you’re looking at how to care for a designer bag this way and you don’t have a dust bag, a cotton pillowcase will do just the trick.
