How to Care for a Straw Bag and Keep It Forever

A quick care guide for all lovers of straw and woven bags

• Fine crumbs and dust are easily removed with a brush.
• Avoid contact with hot and cold water. Straw and rattan fibers warp from moisture and rain, which can even lead to mold growth.
• If your bag is made of stiff wicker or rattan, you can wipe it with a cotton pad soaked in linseed oil to prevent the fibers from drying out and becoming too brittle.
• Do not store your straw or rattan basket in the sun for long periods. Direct sunlight can split the natural fibers, making them brittle.
• Do not overfill the bag. Woven and straw tote bags lose their shape if filled with bulky and heavy items.
