Bag Care 101: How to Make Your Vegan Bag Last Longer

At Fargo, we design bags that turn heads and last long. But just like any good thing in life, your bag also needs a little love and care to stay fabulous. Whether it's your everyday tote or your weekend crossbody, these tips will help you keep your vegan bag looking brand new for years.

✨ 1. Wipe It Down Regularly

Dust, pollution, and chai spills — your bag goes through a lot!
Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the surface of your bag every week. Avoid harsh chemicals or detergents. For stubborn marks, a drop of mild soap with lukewarm water will do the trick.

🧴 2. Don’t Skip the Moisture Barrier

Even though Fargo bags are vegan and cruelty-free, they still need a little protection. Use a vegan leather conditioner once every few months to keep the texture soft and prevent cracking — especially in dry weather.

👜 3. Store It Right

Don't just toss your bag in the cupboard.

Keep it in a dust bag or cotton pillowcase.
Stuff it with old newspaper or bubble wrap to maintain its shape.
Avoid hanging it on hooks — it stretches the straps!

🌞 4. Avoid Direct Sunlight & Heat

Sunlight can fade your bag’s rich colors and heat can damage the texture. Never leave it on the car dashboard or near a heater. Always store in a cool, dry place.

🧼 5. Clean the Inside Too

Yes, the inside matters! Empty your bag once a week and give it a quick clean. Use a lint roller or a mini vacuum to remove crumbs, receipts, and other tiny things that hide inside.

🚫 6. Keep Away From Sharp Objects & Makeup

Pens, scissors, kajal sticks — keep them in pouches! Sharp or oily items can scratch or stain the lining. Using small organizer pouches inside your Fargo bag keeps everything in place (and your bag looking fab).

🛍️ Bonus Tip: Rotate Your Bags

We know you love your go-to handbag, but rotating your bags gives each one a break and helps them last longer. Plus, it’s a great excuse to style more looks from your Fargo collection 😉

💬 Final Words

Your Fargo bag is not just a fashion accessory — it’s a style companion. With a little care and attention, it’ll stay by your side, looking sharp and slaying looks every day. Show it love, and it’ll love you right back.
