Handbag Care and Maintenance.

I really want to buy this bag, but am afraid that it will get dirty fast. It's an off-white with a gray undertone as opposed to a stark white or cream. I'm especially concerned that the back side which will be against my clothes will rub against dark clothing and slowly get discolored. Anyone have experience white bags and have any tips on how to maintain the color?

There are certain products that help mantain leather goods in optimal conditions. I bought glycerin soap to clean and a special castor oil to hydrate, keep soft and preserve the original color. I got both products in a shoe store (CAT boutique)

Lara, thanks. I'm going to look in to those products. It's kinda expensive and I don't want to regret it due to it getting dirty.

If you're buying it in store, they may have products for the upkeep and cleaning. and I do agree white tends to get dirty... or maybe its just more visible.but I'm sure there are ways to prevent / clean.

Magic eraser works pretty good to get any scuff marks off
