Care
Bag care:
- Avoid contact with water and harsh substances;
- Do not spray perfume, hairspray, or other liquids directly on the bag;
- Store in a dry place, inside a dust bag, away from direct sunlight and sharp or rough objects;
- Do not place sharp or heavy items inside to prevent damage or deformation;
- If needed, gently clean with a soft, dry cloth;
- Do not wash or iron;
- Professional hand dry cleaning recommended.
Tassel care (hand-woven viscose tassel):
- To maintain the tassel's shape, avoid compressing or twisting it during storage or use;
- If the tassel becomes wrinkled or loses its form, you may gently steam it;
- Hold a garment steamer approximately 1 cm away from the tassel — do not touch the fibers directly with the steamer;
- After steaming, softly straighten and smooth the threads with your hand, allowing the tassel to cool and set in the correct shape;
- Avoid getting the tassel wet and do not brush it aggressively to prevent fiber damage.
