It's an affordable option that won't cause much.

2-Handle Your Handbags with Clean Hands:

4-All Handbags Are Not Created Equal:
Find out what type of material your handbag is made of because it just may require different instructions to clean and preserve it. If your handbag is made of leather then you might want to invest in a Leather Cleaner, which is an affordable leather-safe option that will keep your bag clean and looking new every day.

5-Never Store Your Handbags Without a Cover or Inside Support:

Purchase a Hanging Handbag Organizer to easily store your handbags in your closet. This will keep the dust off your bag and make it so you can quickly see and grab any bag when you need it, without wasting much of your time.

Leaving handles with heavy hardware to hang on the sides of your bag when not in use will put added stress on the handbag or may cause tearing so make sure that you always zip or fasten your handbags and then overlap any handles on top of it.

8-Consider Using a Handbags Liner:
Protect the inside of your handbags from things like spills, especially if you frequently change your bag, by using a handbag liner. Not only will your bag be protected, but you will also get even more pockets for storing things and a liner makes it easy to swap out bags quickly, without much stress or time wastage.
