How to Care for a Handmade Leather Handbag
If you have a handmade leather handbag, it may be beautiful now, but just as you would with a leather satchel handbag, you will need to take proper care of it if you want it to stay looking pristine and last you for years to come. There are a few basic care and maintenance tips in particular that you are going to want to be aware of and which will help you take the best care of your handmade leather handbag. Leather Before you can really understand about handmade leather handbag care tips, you are going to need to be a bit more educated on the leather material itself. Leather is known for its durability and can last a lifetime if it is properly taken care of. It is going to be necessary for you to maintain the beauty and other desired qualities of leather, and a proper care of leather makes it protected from excessive dryness and will also prevent it from moisture that may result in causing it to swell or mildew. Care and Maintenance One of the most important things you can do to take care of your handmade leather handbag is keep it stored in the right type of environment. When you are not using it, you want to keep the handbag in a dry area, away from dust, dirt and moisture. Leather bags should never be stored in plastic bags or other nonporous covers as this encourages the growth of mold. If you happen to get a blood or food stain on your bag, you will want to deal with it immediately to keep it from staining permanently. These can be cleaned up with a damp cloth and this will usually be enough, but if not you will want to try a natural or organic bag cleaning product. Oil and grease stains can be cleaned by grinding up ordinary blackboard chalk and sprinkling on the bag, then leaving on for a twenty-four hour period before wipping off. A dampened cheesecloth and a leather conditioning cream should be used thrice or four times a year and this will facilitate the durability and shine of the bag. Your handmade leather handbag will last you a lifetime if you follow these helpful steps and remember that these are just the basic steps to keep in mind, there are many others that you can use to your advantage and to help you take proper care of your bag. http://latest-handbags.blogspot.com

Question by Anonymus: How do I get this stain out of my handbag?
A few days ago my mother got me a new handmade handbag that has a beautiful embroidered stars on it as well as a moon sewn onto it with another kind of fabric different than the fabric it is actually made of; this fabric is very thin with the light imprint of Flowers in it. Well today a friend of mine was poking it with his pen, and ended up putting a large black spot in the moon... I licked my finger and tried to rub it off quickly... but all that happened was that it lighten ed but turned the area surrounding that area a light blue, but darker than the rest of the moon.
I was thinking about putting it in the washing machine... but I don't think it can be washed in the machine and I really don't want to darken the moon. Please if anyone has any tips on how I should clean this handbag I'd really appreciate it!

Try using a cotton ball dipped in rubbing alcohol and dab at the stain, alcohol is great for getting ink out of tons of things.
