Maintaining Leather Shoes

1. Storing Footwear

In storing your Etienne Aigner boots, it is better to make use of two rolls of magazines to support the leg of each boot. It would also be better if you wrap your leather in a dust bag, or cloth to absorb moisture from extreme temperature when you are planning to store them for a long time.

2. Deodorizing Leather

Put some baking soda inside the shoes and leave it for a day, or even for few days. Then tip it out before you air dry. Do not leave your leather shoes under the sun. It will damage the luster of your leather.

Maintaining Leather handbags and other Accessories

1. Storing Bags

Do not store your leather purse in plastic covers. Plastic encourages growth and mildew because of its non absorbing property. Thus use dust bags or pillow cases in storing your leather bags.

2. Cleaning

Never use alcohol or any strong household cleaner when cleaning your leather. They can cause dryness and discoloration. Instead use damp cloth when you are cleaning stains. Some uses petroleum jelly while rubbing it with soft cloth.

3. Maintenance

Apply leather conditioner twice or thrice a year. You may use any leather conditioner in the market. Apply liberal amount into your bag, especially before you store your bag in your closet.

4. No waxes

Avoid using waxes in cleaning soft leather. They will clog the leather pores making it hard to apply the leather conditioner.

In 1950, he moved his business to New York where his business grew because of his famous red leather. It is a very difficult color to dye in leather, yet Etienne Aigner has made it. It was also in NY where he made his Aigner “A” logo shaped into a horse shoe. Their apparel designs are has a mixture of Italian soul and other European blends. What made the brand salable is their “Antic Red” signature color which shows homage to the Tuscan Chianti Classico.

At first glance, they are sophisticated. You would want to buy them for that reason alone, but once you inspect it and have used it for long you would want it for its sturdiness and function.

Indeed, all women has a talent for shopping, but not all have the insight of wise shopping. Therefore, you must find the good brands and pick your accessories there. It is really better to get something more for its fashion benefits. With Etienne Aigner, you are sure to get both—function and design. Furthermore, you get it in a reasonable price.

But not all are blessed with smart shopping. Therefore, here are some tips on how to choose a Leather Purse Bag:

1. Find a bag that would blend well with your outfit. It should have a versatile color and design. Settle for those which have natural colors. That way you could easily match them with your many outfits and other accessories.

2.  There are so many kinds of bags. From tote bags, small purses and hobo bags. Pick a style that would be perfect for your lifestyle. Get a leather bag that is functional. If you happen to be the one who carries-it-all, then go for the bigger bags. If you happen to be a carry light, get the handbags rather than the big totes.

For those who don’t understand. Fashion to women is like petals to a flower. It is the measurement of how we have bloomed.

Think of it, it’s your fashion sense which is making the first impression, and first impressions… happen to last.
