Handbag dust cover bags review

Dust cover bag is one of thing that most people take for granted when it comes to storing their handbags. They assume as long as it feel good and it is thick, it will act as a good dust cover bag for your handbag. This is not always true because sometimes dust bag can act more harm than good to your leather handbag. Why do we say that?

The logic is simple, will you wear something that is thick and woolly in summer? Probably not because such think and woolly will only increase the temperature of your body making it uncomfortable. The same logic applies, if you are going to store your handbag under a thick and woolly fabric, it will not only increase the internal temperature as hot air is trapped inside the dust cover bag. Worse if you are staying in the tropical area where humidity is high, coupled with high internal temperature, you have created a perfect condition for mold to grow inside your dust bag.

Let compare the dust cover for various handbags from Louis Vuitton, Kate Spade and Gucci below. We compared that against the 100% cotton 300 thread count dust bag by CloverSac.

Dust cover bags from most brands such as Louis Vuitton, Kate Spade and Gucci have very good feel to them. It is thick and smooth. You can tell how thick is the fabric from the photo below.

Thickness is good if you trying to keep your handbag “warm” but that is not what you should be doing, you should be keeping your handbag “cool” instead. Like our skin, leather needs to breathe as well. That is why you should always keep your leather handbag stored in light and breathable fabric that allows air to circulate in and out easily. This explained why CloverSac decide choose 100% thread count with 300 thread counts. Such fabric provide a great balance when it comes to breath-ability and smoothness. Basically, it is same material that is used to make your bed linen like your pillow case.
