The best way to protect the bottom of your purse from wear, tear, and dirt is to never place it directly on rough or unclean floors and utilize protective measures. Look for bags that have metal purse feet (small studs) on the bottom, as these elevate the leather and take the brunt of scratches and scuffs; if your bag doesn’t have them, you can have them professionally installed or use adhesive options. You should also consider using a waterproof and stain-repellent spray designed for your bag’s material (always test first!) and keep a small purse hook handy to hang your bag safely off the ground when you are at restaurants or in public places.
