The inside of a bag is where the trouble starts
A closed handbag is a small, still, dark space. Left in a wardrobe over a season it holds onto whatever was last in it, draws in whatever damp is in the room, and in a humid climate that is exactly where mould begins. Pursefume capsules sit inside and work on all three at once.
- Neutralise rather than mask - the formula works on the pH of odour-causing molecules instead of laying scent over the top of them
- Absorb excess moisture - which is what makes them worth having in a humid climate
- Help guard against mould and mildew in storage, where it most often takes hold
- Scent gently - without the heaviness of a perfume sprayed inside a lining
As featured in Elle, Harper's Bazaar and Cosmopolitan.
How to use
- Place a capsule inside the bag, ideally in an interior pocket so it does not sit directly against a lining.
- Close the bag and store it as you normally would, in its dust bag.
- Replace after around two months. In a dry room they often last a good deal longer, and you will know by the scent fading.
- Air the bag open for a few hours every few weeks, whatever else you do. Capsules help, but nothing replaces ventilation.
For shoes, use one capsule per shoe. For wardrobes and storage, distribute capsules through the space.
Keep away from children and pets. Do not place a capsule directly against untreated vachetta or a pale lining.
Choose your scent
Two scents, chosen by our collectors. We ran the shortlist past our own community rather than guessing.
- Chance Blossom - delicate florals, fresh and quietly feminine
- Citrus Mandarin Bloom - a lift of citrus, crisp and energising
Eight capsules in every pouch. Choose one scent, or both.

As Seen In
Loved by collectors across the world
Pursefume capsules keep the inside of every stored bag fresh, dry and ready to carry - the step collectors in humid climates swear by.
How Pursefume works
Place, close, replace. Three steps that keep the inside of a stored bag fresh and dry.
Place a capsule inside
Tuck one capsule into an interior pocket so it does not sit directly against the lining. One per bag, one per shoe, a few through a wardrobe.
Close and store as usual
Store the bag in its dust bag as you normally would. The capsule neutralises odour, absorbs excess moisture and helps guard against mould while it sits.
Replace after around two months
In a dry room they often last a good deal longer. You will know by the scent fading. Eight capsules in every pouch.
Air the bag every few weeks
Open the bag for a few hours every few weeks. Capsules help, but nothing replaces ventilation.
Scent that protects
Fragrance that neutralises, absorbs and guards - for the inside of every bag you store.
More than a fragrance
Pursefume works on the pH of odour-causing molecules rather than laying scent over them, absorbs the excess moisture that leads to mould, and leaves a gentle scent behind.
- Neutralises rather than masks
- Absorbs moisture in humid climates and seasonal storage
- Helps guard against mould and mildew where it most often takes hold
Chosen by our collectors
Chance Blossom and Citrus Mandarin Bloom were shortlisted and chosen by our own community. As featured in Elle, Harper's Bazaar and Cosmopolitan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We’ve got answers.
Shipping
Every order is despatched from England within 1-3 business days. Delivery times, costs and any free shipping offer for your country are on our shipping page.
How many capsules do I need?
One capsule per handbag, placed in an interior pocket. One per shoe. For a wardrobe or storage space, distribute a few capsules through it. Each pouch holds eight.
How long does a capsule last?
Replace after around two months. In a dry room they often last a good deal longer, and you will know by the scent fading.
Will Pursefume treat mould that is already there?
Pursefume helps prevent mould by absorbing the moisture it needs. For mould that is already present, use the Antibacterial Cleanser first. Our Goodbye Mold Bundle pairs the two with a guide that walks you through every step in the right order.
Is it safe against the lining?
Place the capsule in an interior pocket rather than directly against a lining, and never directly against untreated vachetta or a pale lining. Keep away from children and pets.
