Easily maintained with a soft cloth, patent leather purses lend polish to outfits, especially in the fall and winter months. Wonderful with tweeds, whites and of course, black ensembles, patent leather handbags bring interest and energy on gloomy days. Although developed in the 1930’s as a waterproof material for shoes, avoid using traditional leather conditioners (the oils can damage patent). Like all bags, extend the life of your patent purse by keeping it off the ground with a Clipa instant handbag hanger. Clipa’s patented design holds bags up to 33 lbs., works in hundreds of places many others simply can’t, and is available in nine finishes, all under $20 including black, polished hematite, matte hematite, matte silver and polished silver (shown). Minimize marks by storing your patent leather purse in a dust cover after use.
