Care Guide
A few small habits keep your Flowbam piece — and the pattern it carries — looking its best for years.
Materials & construction
Cotton canvas totes — 100% organic cotton canvas, 9 oz weight. The pattern is printed directly into the fabric, so it's part of the material — not sitting on top.
Polyester bags — 100% polyester. The pattern is fused into the fiber at high temperature, so it won't peel, crack, or wash off.
Vegan leather bags — Polyurethane (PU) leather with a polyester lining. Lightweight, animal-free, and best kept out of prolonged sun to preserve the surface finish.
Bag charms — Clear-cut acrylic with full-color printing on one side and a solid white backing. Each charm comes with a metal keyring.
Everyday care
- Keep your piece out of prolonged direct sunlight to protect the print's colors.
- Avoid contact with perfume, lotion, and oils — they can stain fabric.
- If it gets damp, let it air dry naturally. Don't wring or machine dry.
Cleaning
All pieces — Spot clean with a soft cloth dampened with cool water and a drop of mild soap. Gently dab — don't rub — to protect the printed pattern. Air dry fully before storing or using again.
Cotton canvas totes — Machine washable on a gentle cycle in cold water, inside out. Do not bleach. Remove promptly and air dry flat — the dryer can cause slight shrinkage and fade the pattern over time.
Polyester bags — Machine washable on a gentle cycle in cold water. The pattern holds up well to washing. Air dry or tumble dry on low.
Vegan leather bags — Wipe clean with a damp cloth only. Do not machine wash, soak, or use harsh cleaners — these can damage the surface.
Bag charms — Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid submerging in water — the acrylic is durable, but prolonged moisture can loosen the keyring hardware.
Storage
- Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sun.
- Use the dust bag (if included) for travel and storage.
- Avoid crushing under heavy items so the shape holds.
A note on longevity
Flowbam pieces are made to be carried, not shelved. A little wear is part of something that travels with you — and with a little care, the pattern stays vivid for a long time.
