Dust cover bags for handbags
When selecting the right material for their dust bags, CloverSac chose high-end luxurious cotton with 300 thread counts for several key benefits:
1. Breathability of the Fabric: The breathability of a fabric is crucial for maintaining the quality of your handbag. A highly breathable fabric allows air and moisture vapor to pass through easily, preventing the accumulation of moisture inside the dust bag. Moisture is a common cause of mold growth, and if trapped inside the dust bag cover, it can increase the risk of mold developing on your leather handbag. 100% cotton is known for its exceptional breathability, making it an ideal choice for dust bag covers as it helps to keep your handbag dry and well-ventilated, reducing the risk of mold growth and preserving the quality of your prized possessions.
Not all cotton are the same, there are cotton blend such as thick flannel cotton that may have a great feel but it score badly when it comes to breathability.
Other fabric includes man-made fabric like polyester and certain types of microfiber have reputation for not breathing well.
If you are staying in an area where humidity is high, you should always avoid storing your handbag inside dust bag that is made of fabric that does not breathe well.
2. Smoothness of the fabric texture and thread counts
We all know the when it comes to selecting bed linen, the higher the thread count the smoother is to fabric. Thread count simply refers to the number of horizontal and vertical threads per square inch.
The higher the thread count, the denser are the threads in per square inch. This also means sheets with a very high thread count don’t let air pass as freely as compared to one with lower thread counts. This explain why when it comes to selecting the number of thread count for our dust bag cover, we have to strike a balance between smoothness and breathability. We chose cotton with 300 thread counts to strike this balance. Following is the specification for the cotton used to make our dust cover bag.

3. Dust cover bag that can be use as bag pillow shaper
A bag pillow shaper or some called it storage stuffer is what you stuff inside your handbag to keep it shape during storage. CloverSac dust bag cover can serve as a bag pillow shaper by first stuffing the dust bag with acid free tissue paper.
Then inserting the stuffed bag pillow shaper into the handbag to keep it in shape.
We chose white cotton to prevent color transfer when it comes to both using it as a dust bag or bag pillow. The softness of the fabric also make it a gentle fit inside your handbag.
