Bag supports or base shapers are rather convenient, since they keep your handbag in the proper form particularly if it is a large tote, or a crossbody that may develop slouchiness when filled. These shapers are positioned at the base of the bag to give it support so as to maintain form regardless of the load that you put in the bag.

Base shapers on the other hand can be made from acrylic and stiff felt which are materials that are picked because they are strong and light. It has different sizes and shapes that can be cut to meet the type of handbag that one wants to apply them on thus making it more of a tool that one can apply anywhere on the bag.

Base shapers do not only maintain the attractive look of your bag by resisting it from sagging but also shields the lower region of the bag from spilled food and beverages. This is especially the case for luxury handbags in which retaining the appearance of the product is important for its market value.

To use a base shaper, the latter has to be placed into the base of the handbag. Ideally, it has to be pressed in and should not force out the sides of the bag. If not in use, the base shaper should be stored in a cool environment away from moisture so that it may not easily get spoilt.

If you wish to enhance the usability, as well as durability of the cross body bag or any other handbag, then it’s high time to think about the base shaper. For further information about handbag care and to discover suitable crossbody bags, please go to www.crossbodyhandbag.com.
