It’s all about Coach Replicas this month: if you’ve been following the replica handbags message boards, our fans have been going nuts over Coach knockoffs. Seeing as it would be a waste to re-hash what has already been said, we’re going to take a look at the peripherals.

The accessories, add-ons, tools and tips: these are the things that make the good life even better.

Care:

Your Coach replicas may be the darlings of your collection now, but all that daily use is going to put a strain on the materials. If your purse is made of leather, then consider grooming it. Be sure that you wipe the bag down first using a soft damp cloth. As always, do a spot test and make sure that you won’t damage the material (don’t try and clean suede, for instance.)  Gently clean the exterior, and then use a product to protect it against further wear.

Coach offers a line of products for just this purpose, which are priced at a surprisingly affordable $10 a bottle and are available through their website.

Or, if you aren’t willing to wait, you can always trot over to the pharmacy and pick up a container of mink oil. Rub a small amount of this onto the item, and it will condition it in much the same way that moisturizer does your skin in the wintertime.

Storage:

Keep your replica handbags off the ground, girls. They aren’t sneakers, and shouldn’t be treated as such. There’s nothing worse than seeing a gorgeous bag stuck on the ground, under the table at an outdoors cafe, or crammed into a corner at the club. Respect them!

At home, try installing a purse rack. Whether this means a dedicated shelf in your hallway, or a set of hooks, keep your Coach knockoffs out of drawers where they will get bent out of shape, and off of the ground where they will inevitably be damaged. Try picking up a hanging purse rack which is a great solution because it simply gets fitted onto the hanger rail in your closet, and it’s ready to go.

Out in the world, there isn’t always a great solution. Fortunately someone came up with one. The purse hook is a cute little device that clips onto the edge of the table, letting you simply park your tote at the restaurant, without letting it, and potentially all of its contents, tumble onto the floor.

Organization:

It may seem like a silly thing to include, but keeping your bag in proper order is actually quite important. The less time you spend digging for something, the better us you will get out of your clutch.

Don’t overstuff! If you need a baby bag, buy one but don’t put that kind of stress on the seams and zippers of a smaller accessory. Same goes for your gym gear, your school books, or whatever other oversized item you’re trying to drag around with you. The cardinal rule of care is ‘don’t cram’ – keep it in mind!

Try an organizer like the purseket: This is a cute tool devised to keep the inside of your Coach replicas looking neat – a soft cloth body with stiff pouches means it will fit into nearly any replica handbag, while a multitude of pockets ensure you won’t be digging in your most loved Coach knockoffs for a set of keys or a cell phone ever again – everything in its place, a clean conditioned exterior, and general damage prevention will keep these beauties going strong in your collection for years to come!
