A little care goes a long way. Discover a few simple ways to keep your handmade fabric bags and accessories looking beautiful for longer.
Handmade fabric pieces are designed to be enjoyed, carried, and used. And with a little thoughtful care, they can stay beautiful for much longer.
Because different textiles respond differently to water, heat, sunlight, and friction, gentle care is always the best place to start.
- Keep Your Piece Dry
Try to avoid prolonged exposure to rain or moisture. If your bag or accessory becomes slightly damp, gently blot away excess moisture with a clean cloth and allow it to air dry naturally.
Avoid using a hair dryer or placing it directly near strong heat, as this may affect the fabric or shape.
- Spot Clean When Possible
For small marks, we recommend spot cleaning rather than washing the entire piece.
Use a soft, clean cloth with a small amount of cool or lukewarm water. Gently dab the affected area instead of rubbing aggressively.
Strong detergents, bleach, and harsh cleaning products should be avoided unless specifically suitable for the material.
- Avoid Long Periods of Direct Sunlight
Beautiful fabrics and soft colors can gradually fade when exposed to strong sunlight for extended periods.
When you are not using your piece, store it somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sunlight.
- Let Soft Bags Keep Their Shape
If you are storing a fabric bag for a while, lightly fill it with clean tissue paper or another soft material. This can help the bag maintain its natural shape without stretching the fabric.
Avoid overfilling your bag with heavy items, especially if it is designed as a lightweight textile piece.
- Treat Handmade Details Gently
Decorative stitching, bows, floral details, beads, and fabric embellishments are part of what gives handmade pieces their personality.
Handle these areas with a little extra care and avoid pulling or catching them against rough surfaces.
Made to Stay Close
We believe the objects we use every day become more meaningful with time.
Small signs of use can become part of your piece's story — but thoughtful care will help preserve its softness, details, and character for many everyday moments to come.
