If you have spent a lot of money on a designer handbag then you are going to want to ensure that you keep it looking good for as long as possible. Even the most expensive bags will start to look a bit ragged if you have them stuffed with too much junk; this will not only put extra strain on your body when you carry it but also make the bag look messy. The way we detox our body is by cleaning out all the unwanted contaminants from our system; a similar approach is needed when doing a detox on your handbag. Here are just some of the best tips for giving your handbag a detox.

-    The first step for a handbag detox is to remove all the contents – don’t leave anything inside. You will later need to go through this content and remove anything that is not actually needed. If you just dump everything back in again it will be a bit of a shame; take your time and only put back required items – that way your bag will look less like a rubbish bin.

-    If you have a lot of keys in your bag you might want to investigate what they are actually needed for. Many of us have keys and we don’t even know what lock they fit. Keys can damage the inside of your bag and the contents so keep them to a minimum. If you don’t need a key don’t keep it in your handbag.

-    If you have a bag crammed with tiny pieces of paper containing people’s phone numbers and email addresses then you should transfer all these to your address book. This might take a bit of time but you will then be able to throw all those messy pieces of paper in the bin. As an added benefit you will now be able to find your important contacts a lot easier then ruffling through hundreds of pieces of paper.
