How to Take Care of Your Bag: Make It Last for Years

A bag is more than just an accessory — it’s part of your daily story. Whether it's a tote, a crossbody, or a backpack, your Bavency bag deserves to be treated with care. At Bavency, we believe in timeless pieces made to last. That’s why we’ve put together a few simple yet essential tips to help you take care of your bag and enjoy it for many years to come.
1. Clean It Gently
- Always use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to clean your bag.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or soaking it in water.
- For leather bags, apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the surface supple.
- For canvas, use a gentle brush or cloth with mild soap and water — then let it air dry naturally.
2. Protect It from Moisture and Sunlight
- Store your bag in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent discoloration or damage.
- Avoid placing it on wet surfaces or exposing it to rain.
- If it gets damp, pat dry with a clean cloth and allow it to air out completely.
3. Store It the Right Way
- Keep your bag in its dust bag or a soft cotton pillowcase when not in use.
- Avoid plastic bags — they can trap moisture and lead to mildew.
- To preserve its shape, stuff it lightly with tissue paper or clean fabric.
4. Don’t Overload It
- Respect the natural shape and structure of your bag.
- Overloading can stretch the material, damage zippers, or strain the stitching — reducing its lifespan.
5. Rotate and Rest
- If you use the same bag every day, it will wear out faster.
- Rotate between a few favourites to give them time to rest and recover their structure.
Final Thoughts
Caring for your bag is caring for your personal style. With a little love and attention, your Bavency bag will remain beautiful, functional, and timeless — just like the day you chose it.
