Chiffon & Voile (The Large Tote — powder blue, cream; The Small Tote — pink)
Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent, or dry clean for best results. Never wring — press gently between towels to remove excess water and hang to dry away from direct sunlight, which can yellow or fade the sheer fabric. Iron on the lowest setting if needed, with a cloth between the iron and fabric.
Organdi (The Organdi Bag — black, white)
Spot clean only. Organdi loses its crisp structure if soaked or machine washed. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth on stains and let air dry flat. Avoid folding sharply — store it so the fabric keeps its shape rather than creasing.
Lace (The Small Tote's white floral lace; The Nigerian Lace Handbag)
Hand wash gently or spot clean — lace snags easily, so avoid wringing, scrubbing, or machine washing. Lay flat to dry, gently reshaping the embroidered florals/pattern while damp. Store flat or loosely folded, never hung, since lace can stretch out of shape.
Beaded / Pearl-embellished lace (Nigerian Lace Handbag — white colorway)
Spot clean only, with a barely-damp cloth — soaking risks loosening the beadwork. Don't machine wash or tumble dry. Keep away from perfume and lotion contact, which can dull or discolor the beads over time.
Suede (Large Tote base and drawstring)
Keep away from water — brush off dirt with a dry suede brush in one direction. For stains, use a suede eraser or cornstarch to absorb, then brush clean. Avoid oils and sprays, and store away from direct heat to prevent drying/cracking.
