Hey guys! We made it. This winter has been pretty dreary for us here on the east coast but we’re so excited about warmer weather, brighter colors, our spring bags and wardrobe! Here’s a quick to do to get you prepped for the new season!
– Out with the old, in with the new
Donate, toss or store your no longer wanted winter clothing. You’ll feel great about “de-cluttering” your wardrobe, aka your life and hopefully help someone in need in the process. It’s a mental sign of a fresh start, new beginning of sorts!
– Clean your shelves and drawers to remove dust or dirt
Dust build-up tends to get sticky with added humidity in warmer weather. A light cleaning will prevent build up on your wardrobe and bags (dust bags are recommended) plus improves the air quality in your closet too. Trust me, you’ll feel better!
– Prioritize pieces that can transition to spring
Look at trends and colors that will work for spring. Sometimes what’s old is new again with a fresh new spring accessory.
– Bring out spring-centric pieces
You want to bring season appropriate clothing to the forefront of your closet because out of sight really is out of mind. This gives you some time to review your wardrobe and wear what you have.
– Change out your closet freshener for a lighter, more spring like scent
Some of the best memories are jarred by scent. We love our “change of season” scents to put us in the spring mindset. Nothing puts a smile on your face like a refreshing new scent!
– Switch out winter bags for spring bags…make sure to store properly
Move your spring bags to the front and winter bags to the bag. Be sure to clean out the inside and refresh your Purse Pillow Shapers in the dryer for 30 minutes to regenerate their moisture absorbing qualities. Take this time to also re-position or change them to insure your bags stay beautifully stored and protected.
– Make sure those boots are properly stored with forms
Wipe your boots to remove dust or dirt and place boot shapers inside to keep them fully formed.
– Replace your organizers, they’re the first line of defense in protecting your bags
Your organizers act like a “second skin” inside your bag. Be sure to clean them out and replace if they are soiled from make-up or spills. You’ll love the clean new look and feel, plus an organized bag makes life just a little easier!
FAQ
Q: What makes Bag-a-Vie different from other handbag shapers?
A: Bag-a-Vie Purse Shapers are designed to preserve the shape, structure, and value of your luxury handbags. Unlike plastic or paper fillers, our shapers are breathable, moisture-absorbing, and made to protect your investment pieces for years.
Q: How do I care for my Bag-a-Vie Purse Shapers?
A: When your shapers arrive, remove them from the plastic bag and massage with your palms to flatten the fibers, which may shift during shipping. Refresh them monthly in the dryer to disinfect and restore moisture-absorbing qualities. Replace every 2 years, or sooner if you live in a humid climate.
Q: Can I wash my Bag-a-Vie Shapers?
A: Bag-a-Vie Shapers are surface-clean only. To refresh, simply place them in the dryer (no wash cycle needed).
Q: Where should I store my handbags with Bag-a-Vie inside?
A: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or hot lights. Use your dust bags or a handbag hanger when appropriate, and avoid sealed boxes to allow proper airflow.
Q: Why shouldn’t I use plastic air pillows or tissue paper in my bags?
A: Plastic and tissue can trap moisture, cause mold, or distort your bag’s natural structure. Bag-a-Vie Shapers are designed to maintain shape and protect leather long-term.
Q: What sizes are available in the Classic Collection?
A: Our Classic Collection features universal sizes to fit most handbags. You can mix and match for a custom fit, and alternate positioning if using more than one shaper in the same bag.
Q: How do Custom Collection Shapers work for Birkin and Kelly bags?
A: Our Custom Collection is designed specifically for Hermès. Birkin Shapers let you store your bag open to prevent stretching, strap marks, and flap imprints. For Kelly and Birkin, gently press shapers into place, pull straps inward without locking, and store bags lying flat whenever possible to prevent creasing.
Q: Do I really need to replace Bag-a-Vie Shapers?
A: Yes. For best results, replace them every 2 years (or more often in humid environments) to ensure continued shape support and moisture protection.
