Four essentials after the bag arrives. Tap one for the short answer.
Keep the proof.
The short answer
For every piece, keep the original receipt and a scan of it, clear dated photos from several angles and the box, dust bag and any cards or booklets that came with it. These records support an insurance claim, a repair at the boutique and any future resale and the Journal in MyQuotaBag keeps each purchase with its receipt and photos in one private place.
Understand your coverage.
The short answer
A home policy often covers a bag against fire but rarely against theft at its full value and even with an adjustment it usually pays back the purchase price rather than what the piece is worth today. Fuller protection generally comes from a specialized policy for valuables arranged through a broker and in every case it is worth checking with your own insurer exactly what is covered.
Know the basics of caring for the piece.
The short answer
If rain or a spill reaches it, blot gently with a soft dry cloth and let it air dry away from heat and leave anything more, such as a stain or worn corners, to the boutique through your Sales Associate.
Help it keep its shape.
The short answer
Store your bag upright in its breathable dust bag, lightly filled with acid-free tissue, somewhere cool, dry and away from sunlight.
MyQuotaBag helps you document your collection. It does not authenticate, appraise or insure your pieces.
