Care: How to take care of Prada Nylon

by edesignershop on August 27, 2009 in Care with Comments Off

This is a very common question oftened asked by customers. What do you do if you get a stain on a Prada Nylon bag like Prada Handbag BN1701 Black? Here are few few tips you should follow:

- As mentioned in a previous post about care, you should always store your Prada items in their dust bag while not in use. Dust settling on the nylon can make the color seem dull over time

- This is a Prada Luxury Handbag, not a plastic shopping bag. The material can be sensitive to the salt in ocean air (especially the hardware), and do not handle harsh weather well. If you know there is going to be a snow storm, you may want to leave your Prada Clutch BP0199 at home. The best way to clean delicate items is to not get it dirty in the first place.

- If there isn’t an actual stain, and it’s just a regular cleaning, which you should do every few months depending on amount of use, eDesignerShop recommends every mom’s best friend, baby wipes! They are mild and will do a great job getting nylon clean. However, if you don’t have baby wipes, and have to go out and buy some, you may want to look for stain removing wipes. Everyone makes them now, including Tide, Shout, or other stain remover wipes.

- If these wipes don’t work on your particular stain, what Prada recommends using a soft bristle brush to apply a mixure of warm water and mild cleaner.

So that’s your care tip for today. Very basic way to keep your Prada Nylon items looking brand new. You can shop for all our Prada items here:

Care: Dust Bag for More Than Dust

by edesignershop on August 6, 2009 in Care with Comments Off

Most handbags, including Prada handbags, Fendi handbags, Balenciaga handbags and so on come with a dust bag. For those that do not, we recommend you put them in a pillow case made out of natural fiber, like cotton. Why do they come with dust bags? The most obvious reason is for a place to store your item when it is “sleeping. This is where the dust bag gets it’s second name; sleeper bag.

Let’s face it, if you are reading this blog, you have more than one handbag. Let’s be honest, you probably have a collection of at least  five to ten, if not up in the hundreds of beautiful handbags! Sitting in the closet, uncovered, your valuable Prada Leather Limited Edition, or your Fendi Spy Bag is not only collecting dust, but the hardware, most likely made out of brass, is getting oxidized and discolored while not in use.

So please, for the sake of your expensive jewels, keep them in a dust bag, or cotton pillow case. Also, stuff your bag if you are planning on storing for more than a few weeks in order to hold it’s form and keep it from forming creases or wrinkles. If possible, try to stuff the items with plastics, like bubble wrap, since it is less likely to attract moths. The last thing you want to find after saving your Balenciaga Giant City  for a special occasion is a bag full of moth eggs!

Also, make sure the item is not stored in direct sunlight or extremely humid conditions. Like a fine wine, it may go up in value and be the envy of the designer world in a few years, but only if you take proper care of it.

Oh, just in case Balenciaga or Prada or any of the other brands forgot something, know that you are covered by eDesignerShop’s one year warranty in case anything goes wrong. You can see our warranty here: http://www.edesignershop.net/store/pg/310-Warranty.aspx
