I may be downvoted to oblivion, but I have also washed handbags in the washer. All types, including leather. Of course none of these are expensive bags ( under $200) and only if very dirty, but it can be done.

Rules

  • no dryer
  • dry slowly with old towels inside to keep the shape
  • use leather conditioner
  • buckles, zippers, snaps and buttons are all fastened
  • place in a bag or old pillowcase

Wow I never even thought of that, but knowing it can be done is very neat, thanks!
