To keep your handmade crochet handbag in pristine condition, we recommend:

• Spot cleaning with a mild detergent (or water and soap mixture).
• Use a soft cloth or a soft-bristle brush along with water to gently clean the crochet fabric.
• Gently press out excess water with a clean, dry towel. Do not wring the handbag.
• Lay the handbag flat on a clean, dry towel and let it air dry completely. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can fade colors and damage the fibers.
• Once the handbag is dry, you can use a soft brush to gently fluff up the crochet stitches.

Because of the material of our crochet bags and the fact that they are handmade, sizes may vary slightly between each bag. The fibers of the bag stretch over time which is completely normal and should not affect the bag's functionality if cared for properly.

To keep your bag in good condition, handle it gently and avoid over-packing. Follow our "Care & Cleaning Guide" for tips on how to clean your crochet bag.
