Our Top Care Tips
Cleaning Your Purse
Keep your handmade purse looking its best by wiping it gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For minor spots, use a slightly damp cloth, but avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the natural fibers.
Reshaping Your Purse
If your Bolga basket purse loses its shape, lightly mist it with water to make the fibers flexible. Gently reshape it with your hands, supporting both the interior and exterior, then allow it to air dry completely away from direct sunlight.
Leather Care
For purses featuring leather handles or accents, apply a quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Be cautious to keep leather parts away from excessive moisture to avoid staining.
Avoid Direct Sunlight
Prolonged exposure to sunlight can fade the vibrant colors of your purse. Store it in a shaded area when not in use to preserve its appearance and longevity.
Proper Storage
Maintain the shape and structure of your purse by storing it in a cool, dry place. Avoid placing heavy items on top, and consider stuffing it with tissue paper to help retain its form.
