Before packing, make sure your handbag is clean and empty. Remove any items, dust it off, and check for any fragile parts.
Use soft items like scarves, socks, or bubble wrap to stuff the handbag. This helps it maintain its shape and protects fragile components.
Cover any metal hardware (like buckles, zippers, or chains) with a soft cloth to prevent scratches on other items in your luggage.
If your handbag came with a dust bag, use it for added protection. If not, a pillowcase or soft cloth bag works well to shield the bag from dust and scratches.
Pack your handbag towards the center of your suitcase where it's less likely to be crushed by other items or the sides of the suitcase.
Wrap softer handbags in clothing items like shirts or sweaters to provide extra padding and protection.
For larger handbags, consider using compression bags to save space and protect the bag from being squished.
Don’t stuff your handbag with too many items or overpack it. This can cause unnecessary strain on the bag’s seams and shape.
If your handbag contains valuable items like electronics or jewelry, consider carrying them separately in your carry-on to ensure they’re secure and easily accessible.
If your suitcase has exterior or interior pockets, use them to store smaller handbags or clutch bags to keep them organized and easily accessible.
