Protect Your Bag

For added protection against everyday stains and moisture, we recommend applying a high-quality invisible fabric protector suitable for handbags.

Always test the product on a small, hidden area first and follow the manufacturer’s instructions before full application.

Storage Tips

To help preserve your bag’s shape:

  • Store it upright whenever possible.
  • Fill the interior with acid-free tissue paper or a soft cotton cloth.
  • Keep it inside a breathable cotton dust bag.
  • Avoid plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
  • Store away from direct sunlight and humid environments.

A Gentle Reminder

Each crochet bag is individually handmade. Slight variations in texture, stitch pattern, or shape are a natural characteristic of handcrafted products and make every piece beautifully unique.

With a little care, your crochet bag will continue to elevate every moment for many years to come.

Important Information

Fabric protectors help reduce the absorption of water and stains, but they do not make your bag completely waterproof or stain-proof.

Promptly wipe away any spills with a clean, soft cloth to minimise the risk of permanent staining.

Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and safety precautions when using any fabric protection product.
