How to care for a tote bag: washing, stains, storage

A good tote bag lasts long if you treat it like a friend: gently, but consistently. Here's a quick care plan.

Washing

  • Temperature: 30 °C, gentle program. Turn inside out.
  • Detergents: gentle detergents, without chlorine bleach.
  • Drying: naturally, laid flat. No dryers (the fabric may shrink).

Stain cleaning

  • Coffee/tea: cold water + gentle soap, immediately.
  • Oil: grease remover (e.g., dish soap), do not scrub aggressively.
  • Makeup: micellar water on a cloth, gently dabbing.

Ironing and printing

Iron inside out, not on the print. If needed, use a thin fabric between the iron and the bag.

Storage

  • Keep dry, without rolling into a ball (we see you).
  • If you have several – fold them and store them vertically, so you can easily find the design you need.

When is it time to refresh?

If the seams are tired and the fabric has "lost" its shape – it's time to treat yourself to a new one. Check out what's new in the collections or choose a gift card.
