How to keep a white bag white
- Protect it right away: before first use, apply a protective spray designed for the material.
- Beware of denim: dark jeans, especially new ones, can transfer dye. Avoid rubbing against crossbody bags.
- Regular cleaning: wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth once a week. For faux leather, a drop of mild soap works well.
- Clean interior: pens and makeup can stain the inside too; use a pouch.
- Storage: keep it in its dust bag, away from light, which can cause white to yellow.
