Bags Care

To take care of handmade mochila bags, follow these key tips:

  • Spot clean stains with a gentle soap and a soft brush instead of washing the entire bag when possible.
  • Always hand wash the bag using cold water and a mild detergent to preserve the weave and colors.
  • Avoid bleach, harsh chemicals, and fabric softeners that can damage the fibers or cause color fading.
  • Do not machine dry; instead, air dry the bag in a shady spot away from direct sunlight to prevent shrinkage and color fading.
  • Reshape the bag gently after washing and hang it carefully to maintain its natural form.
  • Store the bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and deterioration.
  • For decorated or delicate versions, spot clean only and avoid soaking or machine washing.
  • If necessary, consider professional dry cleaning for heavily soiled or valuable bags.
  • Do not iron or expose to high heat as it can weaken the fabric structure.

Following these tips will help keep handmade mochila bags vibrant, clean, and long-lasting.
