Hardware of bags will oxidize and fade after long-term use. Today, Bao Zheng will show you the reasons and share with you some practical daily prevention tips!
Causes of oxidative fading:
- Environmental factors: Humid air, sweat and various chemicals (such as perfume, cosmetics, cleaning products, etc.) contacting hardware can easily cause chemical reactions and lead to oxidative fading
- Friction and wear: In daily use, hardware frequently rubs against clothing, desktops, etc., which will wear the surface coating over time and accelerate the oxidation process
Daily prevention methods:
- Moisture and sweat prevention: Try to avoid leaving the bag in a humid environment, and be especially careful on rainy days. When sweating a lot, reduce the direct contact between the strap and the skin, and you can put a small silk scarf under it
- Cleaning and maintenance: Wipe the hardware regularly with a soft and dry cloth to remove dust and stains. If it is accidentally stained with dirt, wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth and dry it immediately.
- Proper storage: When not in use, place the bag in a dry, ventilated place, preferably in a dust bag to prevent the hardware from being squeezed and collided.
As long as you pay more attention to these small details in daily life, you can greatly extend the “beauty period” of LV hardware! Let our bags always remain exquisite
