My bag was treated to an immense pampering experience last weekend at the newly opened Australian branch of My Bag Spa. Unlike myself who is looking distinctively neglected, my bag was left in the the hands of dedicated professionals at My Bag Spa.

Opened by David Chen and Alex How, the ‘bag spa’ philosophy is that ’staying clean is beautiful’.  Designer bags are really investment pieces that you want to keep for many years and need love an attention. Specialists in designer bags, a visit to My Bag Spa involves an initial consultation with what is involved to make your bag as good as new, with processes such as dying, cleaning, stain removal, disinfecting and small repairs.

‘Expensive bags have many memories associated with them’ David told me ‘it could be something you bought for a special occasion, or perhaps from your first boyfriend or an anniversary present. You want to be able to use the bag for many more years to come. We remove stains and fading and general wear and tear, or maybe an unforeseen circumstance like a cigarette burn. Most bags are limited pieces so if anything happened to your bag, more often than not you can’t buy the same bag again even if you could afford it’.

I can’t wait to use my rejuvenated bag!
