QuestionHow do you make a leather purse shiny?Community AnswerThis depends on the material it is originally made out of. If it is patent leather, you can try wiping it down with a window cleaner, such as Windex, or "polishing" it with Vaseline. If it is regular leather, you can try applying some sort of leather polish or wax. Make sure that the polish/wax is intended for purses or shoes, and avoid anything intended for saddles; it will be too harsh. If it is suede... it is not possible (although some types of suede may develop a patina/shine in areas of wear over time). As always, be sure to do a patch test in an inconspicuous area first.

QuestionHow do you get rid of moldy smells in wallets?Community AnswerThis is likely coming from the inside. Take everything out first, then wipe down the inside with a paper towel that's been dampened with rubbing alcohol (or an odor eliminator). Some people have also found success with slipping newspaper into leather bags, garments, and wallets. Lastly, you could also try supporting the wallet with something so that it stays open, and leave it in a sunlit area for a few hours. Both sunlight and rubbing alcohol are effective at odor-causing bacteria.
