How to choose the right bag for yourself?
Choosing the right bag for you can really be very troublesome, especially when you have 5 minutes left before leaving your house to an important date.
Having a right bag means, it does not have to match your outfit, but it must at least complement your apparel!
Bags are your accessories, so choose them wisely.
Right shape of bag for your body:
- For those of you who might not have a clue on what type of figure you possess, choose a bag that lies at the middle of your torso, this length will complements most people.
- For those of you who have a petite and round shape – find a lengthy and rectangular bag with long strap.
- How about a petite and skinny you? Choose a rectangular bag that ends at your leg, extremely large bags will make you look really petite!
- Are you tall and skinny? Slouch designer bag, rounded and crescent shaped bags can work wonder for you. Avoid small, mini bags.
- Tall and large people will find that mini bags will make you look larger than life. Get something large that complements your build.
- Pear shaped people can find a rectangular bag to complement them.
- Possess a voluptuous bosom? Stir clear of close-fitting bags, which rest under the arm. Instead go for a bag with long shoulder straps.
- If you have a slim waist – choose shoulder straps bags that allow the bottom of the bag to hit your waist.
- If you want to accentuate cleavage, pick a close fitting bag with short straps, which lie right under the arm for maximum flattery, the size of the bag should be in proportion to your figure.
Don’t be tempted by trendy shapes that don’t suit your figure: there are plenty of great alternatives that will work. Take time in a store to try on handbags in front of a mirror just like you would when trying on clothes. Think lifestyle when shopping for bags.
Why do we have to clean bags?
Many people asked us why do we need to keep our accessories clean, reason is because of hygiene purposes,
you cannot imagine how dirty(germs, bacteria, mold) it is even thou it doesn’t look dirty with our naked eyes.
Will my used bag look new after cleaning?
We prefer the words Clean & Fresh instead of New, as these words are more realistic (compared to New) after a good clean.
Reason is because common wear & tear marks are usually viewed as stains.
Why does it take weeks to clean my bag?
All the items are hand washed with solutions instead of dry cleaning. We repeat the cleaning process often as cleaning once will not be clean enough.
As each item is serviced by one person at a time, naturally, there will be a queue for all items that we received.
Why does it take months to color restore my bag?
All items are subjected to cleaning services before a fresh color can be applied on the leather, getting JND (Just Noticeable Difference) color
for each item requires time to mix,curing time is needed to ensure the fresh color bonds with the leather.

Does cleaning shorten the life of an item?
No, in fact cleaning prolongs an item’s life. Not only do stains set with age, making the item look unattractive, but ground-in dirt and soil act as abrasives, causing rapid wear of fibers.
Insects are attracted to soiled items and cause further damage.
Does cleaning bags often result in it becoming unusable more quickly?
Frequent cleaning prolongs the life of your branded bags.
Since some stains are invisible at first, or may simply go unnoticed, it’s important that you consult MyBagSpa about your items to ensure that irreparable damage is not done over time.
This damage includes the danger of stains setting in, insects eating the fabric, and ground-in dirt and soil acting as a sandpaper-like abrasive that will rapidly wear down fibers.
How does your specialist remove stains?
Most stains must be removed prior to the cleaning process which is why it is so important that you point out any stains before the cleaning.
You should also advise us what caused the stain (juice, coffee, etc.).
We use different solutions to gently remove the stain depending on the cause of the stain.
The cause of the stain, type of fabric and whether you pre treated the stain greatly determines our ability to remove 100% of the stain.
How do i prevent water stain from occurring on my leather items when it is raining? Assuming I did not apply a layer of waterproof product!
Try looking for a plastic bag, or if possible always keep a plastic bag in your bag.
Make use of the plastic bag by placing your beloved branded bag into the plastic bag to prevent rain from staining your leather items.
Is there a rule of thumb about when I should have my bags cleaned?
There is an old cleaners saying “Wear it twice, it will clean up nice.”
This is a nice slogan, but you need to put more thought into your decision.
The branded bag you hold on to everyday, should follow the same logic you would to changing your bed sheets.
For lesser frequencies, bring in for cleaning every season or twice a year.
For branded bags that are used once in a blue moon, bring it over for cleaning once yearly.
Cleaning is especially useful to remove/minimize food stains, dust, soils, makeup, cologne, and perspiration. Over 99.97% of bacteria will be removed with proper cleaning and drying.
Bacteria often produces an offensive odor (Bacteria’s feces) if the bag is used for too long without cleaning. Always clean items before storage for any length of time.
This will help prevent/minimize moth or mold damage.

We suggest that you simply blot the spill with a clean, dry, light colored cloth or paper towel.
We will work the rest out for you.
