Care Instructions:
- Expect shedding of jute fibers upon initial use.
- Jute fabric is highly resistant to dirt, so washing is unnecessary.
- Spot clean only if stained.
- Do not bleach.
- Do not tumble dry.
- Wipe clean leather parts.
- Hand wash inner lining separately when needed and air dry.
- Store the bag away from direct sunlight and keep it in a dust bag when not in use.
Extra care should be taken when wearing the storied bag against delicate skin or fabric.
