I remember seeing some kind of advert that could spray and get rid of foul smell off furniture/sofas... maybe overseas. Any equivalent here?

Febreze! Comes in various scents and unscented too!

Those are really great tips. I'm definitely going to pay more attention to my bags. Speaking of which. I've got tons of bag and even though i know it's time to throw some out, but does anybody has any ideas on how to organize bags and somehow stuff them in your closet????

Where can I get febreze?

I tried sunning before and it didn't work too well.... unfortunately. Thanks for the suggestion, maybe I'll get some febreze and sun !

Thanks! Will keep a lookout when I'm doing my weekly grocery shopping!

Sometimes I throw those perfume strips that are given out at departmental stores into my bags. Alternatively you could put perfume bottles that are empty into the bags or your wardrobes too.

hi babes

i've been having a love-affair with white bags (be it leather, pleather, nylon, cotton, etc.) for quite awhile, but so far they have all degenerated and ended up looking in a not-so tip-top condition after much use.

recently i purchased a white pleather tote which i'm very much in love with . i hope to be able to keep this in pristine condition (at least for 1 semester of sch). any of u babes out there has any tips on how to care for white bags (cos they are just so lovely - i add scarfs or corsages to add that extra ooomph! & so easy to match)?

TIA!

keep them in boxes with paper
and probably condition with a leather care polish before using it

as much as we dont want white bags to stain or look discoloured, it does over a period of time!

ooo does leather care polish work on pleather as well? :huh:

thanks natnatviv!

[natnatviv]

errr i am not quite sure

i use the leather care polish on my leather bags and shoes
and occasionally on those "faux leather"

the idea is to have a protective layer so they wouldnt be damaged much

maybe try on a small surface first?

Hey gals,


Actually, u can use egg white to polish on all ur leather bags, it will look just as shine as new...

I've the Gucci sling bag in Beige. But after wearing with jeans several times, the back of the bag turns a bit blueish.

Is there any way to prevent or to wash it?
