Washing instructions: To keep your canvas bags looking their best, we recommend washing them with cool water and a mild detergent. This gentle approach helps preserve the integrity of the material. After washing, simply hang the bags to dry naturally. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals, as they can compromise the fabric's quality.

Care tips: To prolong the lifespan of your canvas bags, it's advisable to store them in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high temperatures, as these factors can cause fading and deterioration over time.
