Taking Care Of Your Python Bag

By Terrie Joyner


A python bag is probably one of the most expensive bags in the world. Snakeskin bags are highly valued because of how luxurious and beautiful the leather can be. Many people would not mind paying big for this if they have the money. Since it is expensive, it is essential that the owner knows how to properly care for it. It would a shame if your beautiful handbag would become damaged just because you did not take care of it.

One of the biggest things that can cause these types of bags to deteriorate is sun exposure. Constant exposure to the sun's rays can cause the leather to become very dry and to lose its color. As much as possible, do not stay out for long periods of time especially when it is a sunny day. It is better to leave your handbag at home if you plan to be outside for hours.

Another enemy these bags have would be water and any liquid matter. Owners should always remember that leather has the tendency to absorb water. They should be conscious as to where they will place their handbag. When using the handbag, stay indoors, take note of the weather, or travel with an umbrella.

Knowing that it is not good with water, the handbag cannot be washed or soaked. To clean this, what you can do is to use a slightly damp cloth and wipe the scales. Be very gentle for you would not like to damage the scales. If the inner part is dirty, use a cotton swab and carefully clean under the scales.

To dry your handbag, the things you should never attempt are putting it in the dryer and drying it with a hair dryer. The dryer will only put the scales in danger. The hair dryer is contraindicated because it gives off a lot of heat. High temperatures are not good for any kind snakeskin goods.

There are now products that people can use to maintain these exotic bags. A good example is the leather protectant. This can provide a protective coating that can guard against scratch and abrasion. A special kind of conditioner or moisturizer can help keep the shine on the scales so the handbag will always look brand new.

Store your handbag in a place that cannot be penetrated by sunlight and water. It has to be cool, dry, and dark. It would help to have a designated place for the handbag so you will have a place where you can keep it safe if you are not going to use it.

Always handle the handbag with care and not roughly. Be mindful of how you hold it and where you will place it. Keep in mind that the handbag is very elegant and the person using it should act in a graceful and elegant manner as well.

Your python bag should be treated as if it is an infant. Handle it with gentleness and keep it protected all the time. This is a handbag that deserves to be treated like it is a very valuable possession.
