Caring for leather/faux leather handbags

Who knows how to properly care for pleather or vinyl handbags? Also repair minor tears and scuffs?

Clean with soap and water.

Wipe it down with warm water and soap.  It's not leather, I don't think there is anything you can do about tears and scuff marks.

If it is faux, sometimes a marker can fill in a tear so it is less noticeable.

Amazon has listings for vinyl repair kits for furniture, auto seats, jackets, etc.
