Keep Your Loop Studio Bag Beautiful for Years to Come
Your hand-knitted bag is a labor of love โ made slowly, made well. With proper care, it will age gracefully and remain a cherished companion for years. Here's your complete guide to caring for each type of Loop Studio bag.
Cotton Rope Totes โ Machine Washable
Our Rope Loop Totes are the most durable and easiest to care for. Made from 100% premium cotton rope, they can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. After washing, lay flat to dry and reshape while damp to maintain the silhouette. Avoid the tumble dryer โ heat can cause cotton rope to lose its natural structure.
Fabric Ribbon Bags โ Spot Clean Only
Ribbon Weave Bags and Artisan Knot Bags feature delicate ribbon textures that should be spot cleaned with mild soap and a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the bag, as this can affect the ribbon's natural luster. For the Artisan Knot Bag, take extra care around the metal buckle โ wipe it gently with a dry cloth to maintain its brass finish.
Wool & Mohair Pouches โ Handle with Care
The Spring Blossom Pouch is our most delicate piece. Made from a wool and mohair blend, it requires hand washing in cold water with a wool-safe detergent. Gently press out excess water โ do not wring or twist. Reshape and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Milk Cotton & Mixed Yarn Bags โ Gentle Care
Both the Milk Cotton Crossbody and Mixed Yarn Market Bag should be hand washed cold. These pieces are more resilient than wool but still deserve gentle treatment. Spot cleaning between washes will extend their life significantly.
General Care Tips
- Storage: Store your bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a dust bag if available.
- Shape: Stuff your bag with tissue paper when not in use to help it maintain its shape.
- Rotation: Rotate between bags to give each piece time to rest and recover its natural shape.
- Perfumes & Chemicals: Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals that can stain or damage natural fibers.
