How to Maintain Your Handcrafted Bags During Festive Seasons

Festive seasons like Diwali and Navratri are exciting, full of celebrations, shopping, and gifting. Your handcrafted, eco-luxury bags are a perfect accessory or gift but they also require care and maintenance to ensure they stay beautiful and durable throughout the festivities.

Here’s a practical guide on how to maintain your handcrafted bags during the festive rush.

1. Store Properly Between Uses

  • Keep bags in dust bags or cotton pouches to protect them from dust and light.

  • Avoid placing them in humid or damp areas, which can affect natural fibers like banana, hemp, or cork.

  • For slouchy bags, stuff them with soft paper or fabric to retain shape.

Proper storage prevents deformation and preserves the luxurious look of your handcrafted bag.

2. Clean Gently

  • Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or light stains.

  • For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap if necessary—never soak or machine wash.

  • Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as they damage natural fibers and eco-friendly materials.

Gentle cleaning ensures your bag stays pristine without compromising its handcrafted quality.

3. Handle With Care During Festivities

  • Avoid overloading bags with heavy items natural fibers can stretch or deform.

  • Keep bags away from direct sunlight for long periods, which can fade colors or weaken fibers.

  • Prevent contact with oily or colored items, especially during festive events like rangoli or food serving.

Simple precautions keep your bag looking fresh and elegant throughout long festive nights.

4. Protect from Water & Moisture

  • If your bag is made from natural fibers, avoid rain or wet surfaces.

  • For accidental spills, blot immediately with a dry cloth do not rub.

  • Consider using a protective spray suitable for eco-friendly materials, if recommended.

Moisture protection ensures your bag remains durable and long-lasting.

5. Rotate Your Bag Usage

  • During festival weeks, you may have multiple events rotate between bags to reduce wear and tear.

  • Give each bag time to rest between uses, which helps maintain shape and quality.

Rotating bags prolongs longevity and keeps your collection looking fresh.
