Dust Bags
Why should I store my handbags in a dust bags?
Think of your dust bag as a protective second layer of skin, or barrier to your luxurious “I
want this investment to last” handbag when it’s not in use. Instead of your babies, sitting
on the shelf collecting dust or perhaps at risk of the dreaded color transfer from other
bags next to it, set them in a breathable bag like cotton, like The Positively Luxe organic
cotton dust bag. A 100% *cotton* bag is important as it’s lightweight and won’t lock in
moisture. Stay away from plastic, polyester, or those cheap fabrics that could potentially
trap moisture which could lead to... mold! And please, stay away from storing any of
your handbags in the box. The box is pretty, great for transferring from the boutique to
your closet, great decor or for stacking your handbags at different heights on the shelf,
but a box is NOT meant to store your handbags long term— your babies need to
breathe! We did our research and found that 90% of luxury handbag experts agree,
storing your handbag in a dust bag is the easiest and safest way to keep your bag in
excellent shape for the long-term.
Other great tips for handbag storage: Never stack your bags on top of each other, this could cause indentations or scuffs that are so avoidable.
To keep the bags shape, stuff it with tissue paper (not newspaper or anything that could discolor your bag), a bag pillow, a couple extra dust bags, or a tote organizer, etc. You don’t want it to sag or droop because it lost it’s shape in the closet. *Some bags may collapse and fold for easy storing but not all of them are capable. -Be aware of the handles and hardware including zippers, lock and straps when storing. Make sure they are not pressing on your bag and causing unwanted indentations and make sure your handles are not being pressed on and bent. You could tuck all hardware in the bag or wrap certain pieces in tissue to try and protect the bag. -Hanging your bag for a long period of time could cause damage to chain as well as color transfer and dust, we don’t recommend that method. -Store your bags in a dry room and avoid direct sunlight (harsh sunlight could cause your bag to crack) from hitting your handbags and dust bags. -Use your bags! Take them out every now and again and check on your babies, give them love and know Positively Luxe has you covered when you are ready to protect, store and organize your babies.

What else can I use my dust bag for?
Our dust bags are versatile and really, really cute... meaning they should not just be
stored away in the closet! PL dust bags make for great travel/laundry bags in the
suitcase or for your dry cleaning. We offer “dirty” and “clean” clothes bags to organize your suitcase and of course, dust bags to keep your shoes, bags and accessories in when on-the-go. We also offer our bags in a large option for your totes, boots and even wide-brim hats. Our drawstring backpack style bags are perfect to throw on the shoulder
for the gym, the car or running errands in as well.
How do I wash my dust bag?
To care for your gorgeous new dust bag, we recommend hand washing it in cold water
when needed. Steam your bag to get out any wrinkles, an iron works to for a more crisp
finish. Upon arrival of your dust bag, we also recommend taking Scotch Guard to the
bag to immediately add a layer of protection from any unwanted stains and spots.
*Please note after several washes (we’re talking over 20), the design on the bag could
slightly fade giving it a vintage feel. Who doesn’t love a vintage bag though?
