How to Care for Your Handmade Crochet Bag (And Keep It Looking Brand New)

You've just received your beautiful handmade crochet bag from Pearl & Tick — and you want to keep it looking as stunning as the day it arrived. The good news? With just a little care, your bag will stay gorgeous for years to come.

1. Keep It Away from Water

Handmade crochet bags are crafted from premium cotton yarn, which can absorb moisture. Avoid wearing your bag in heavy rain or submerging it in water. If it gets lightly wet, gently pat it dry with a soft cloth and let it air dry naturally — never use a dryer or direct heat.

2. Store It Properly

When you're not using your bag, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Sunlight can fade the colors over time. You can stuff the bag lightly with tissue paper to help it maintain its shape.

3. Clean Gently

If your bag needs cleaning, spot clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap. Gently dab — don't rub — the affected area. For deeper cleaning, hand wash only in cold water with a gentle detergent. Lay flat to dry.

4. Handle the Hardware with Care

The gold chain straps and metal locks on your Pearl & Tick bag are designed to last. To keep them shining, wipe them occasionally with a soft dry cloth. Avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, or harsh chemicals.

5. Avoid Overloading

Our mini bags are designed to carry your essentials — phone, wallet, keys, and lipstick. Overloading can stretch the yarn and distort the shape. Keep it light and your bag will keep its beautiful silhouette.

6. Rotate Your Bags

If you have multiple Pearl & Tick pieces (lucky you!), rotate between them. This gives each bag time to rest and recover its shape between uses.
