Understand Your Material
Dooney and Bourke bags come in various materials, each requiring specific care:
- Leather Bags: These require regular conditioning to maintain their shine and suppleness. Use a leather cleaner and conditioner suitable for genuine leather as found in our range of Genuine Leather Tote Bag - Large Capacity Underarm Crossbody Shoulder Bag and Genuine Leather Crossbody Bag - Versatile Underarm and Shoulder Bag.
- Fabric Bags: Use a gentle fabric cleaner and avoid getting them excessively wet. Spot-clean stains immediately for best results.

Regular Cleaning
- Dust your bags: Over time, dust can accumulate and make your bags look dull. Use a soft cloth to gently wipe away any dust or dirt. For leather bags, consider using a damp cloth followed by a dry one.
- Inside care: Don't forget the interiors! Turn your bag inside out to remove any debris like crumbs or lint. For bags with a harder structure, use a vacuum's gentle attachment to clean the interior.
Storage Tips
Proper storage can drastically extend the life of your Dooney and Bourke bags:
- Avoid direct sunlight: Exposure can fade colors and weaken materials. Store bags in a closet or a shaded area.
- Use dust bags: Always store your bags in dust bags when not in use. If you don't have a dust bag, a soft pillowcase can serve as a handy substitute.
- Retain shape: Stuff your handbags with tissue paper or fabric to help retain their structure, especially when storing for extended periods.
Gentle Use
How you use your Dooney and Bourke bags also affects their longevity. Avoid overstuffing and always follow product care instructions provided by the manufacturer.
