A Practical Guide to Caring for Your Bags and Everyday Accessories

Good care begins with a little attention after each use. Whether an accessory is part of your daily routine or reserved for special occasions, thoughtful handling and suitable storage can help keep it in good condition. Materials and construction differ, so always follow the care instructions supplied with the specific item. The habits below are general guidance, not a substitute for product-specific advice.

Give accessories a moment after use

Before putting an item away, remove personal belongings and check that nothing has been left in pockets or compartments. If the item is damp, allow it to air-dry naturally in a well-ventilated place, away from direct heat. Avoid storing it while wet or placing it against surfaces that could transfer colour.

Store bags so they keep their shape

Place bags upright where possible and avoid stacking heavy items on top of them. Light, clean packing material can help support the shape of a bag when it is not in use, but do not overfill it or force the sides outward. Keep detachable straps arranged loosely to prevent sharp bends. Use a dust cover only when the item is completely dry and the cover itself is clean.

Keep storage clean, dry, and sensible

A cool, dry storage area is generally preferable to a damp or very warm location. Leave enough space for items to breathe, and keep them away from direct sunlight, fragrance, cosmetics, and household cleaners. If an item comes with a storage pouch or care card, retain and use it as directed.

Handle marks cautiously

Do not assume that one cleaning method suits every finish. Strong solvents, bleach, abrasive cloths, and unapproved conditioners may cause damage. If you are unsure about a mark, consult the care instructions or seek advice from a qualified specialist before treating it. For footwear and other accessories, check the product guidance before applying polish, protectant, or cleaning products.

Build a simple care routine

1. Empty bags after use and check their compartments.
2. Let damp items dry naturally before storage.
3. Store pieces separately when contact could cause scratches or colour transfer.
4. Keep care instructions with the item for future reference.
5. Inspect closures, straps, soles, and other parts periodically.

Care is most effective when it reflects the item you own. Read the included product information, use accessories as intended, and avoid unverified cleaning shortcuts. Browse the LAURENT LUXE collection and keep the care information for each purchase in an accessible place.
