* Most of the vintage designer handbags have brass hardware and embellishments that give them an elegant look. It is better to use cleaning solutions that are specifically used to clean brass hardware. You should use a Q-tip while applying the solution on buckles and clutches. By using a Q-tip, the solution will not get smeared on the leather or fabric.
* A vintage bag is not a brand new bag and its previous user might have left make-up stains on it. You can remove these stains easily with soap or soda water. Use a mild hand soap as it will not harm the fabric. Dip a piece of clean and soft cloth in soap or soda water and then use it to buff away the stains. It has been found that soda water and soap water can remove stains of mascara, lipstick, foundation etc. It can also be used for removing stains of nail polish. * If your vintage designer handbag is made of leather you can use mink oil to make it fresh and flexible. Use a cotton ball to apply a thin layer of mink oil on your bag. Once the oil is fully absorbed by the leather, it will become pliable and soft. * You can also use leather conditioner to make your leather vintage bag look fresh. Such conditioners are readily available at reputed handbag stores.
