Most designer bags are made of some form of calfskin or cowhide leather, whether smooth or textured. High-end examples include Hermès Togo and Epsom, Chanel's caviar leather, and Louis Vuitton's Epi leather.

Suede and velvet materials require special care due to their delicate nature and unique textures. These materials can be particularly sensitive to water and pressure.

Many luxury brands use coated canvas or fabric materials, known for their durability and practicality. Examples include Louis Vuitton's Monogram canvas and Gucci's GG Supreme canvas.

Exotic skin handbags (crocodile, alligator, lizard, ostrich, python) require particular care, as they are often expensive and have unique textures.

The metal hardware and finishing details of your luxury bag require specific care to maintain their shine and prevent tarnishing or damage.

The inside of your bag is just as important to maintain as the exterior, especially since internal damage can affect the overall structure and usability.
