You just justified spending over on the latest bag by calculating "days of usage" then dividing to find "your cost per day" (It seems so much more worth it this way, doesn't it?). Now you've got to make sure that your bag will last you those few thousand days so your money doesn't go to waste! Here are some tips to ensure that your bag will retain its value way into the future.

*Always store your bags upright like books. Do not stack them!

*Always stuff your bags with a breathable material like tissue paper, newspapers or old t-shirts so that it will retain its shape.
