How to Care for Your Tote Bag (So It Lasts Years)
🧼 The Ultimate Guide to Keeping Your Bag Fresh
Whether you’re carrying your bag daily or taking it on weekend adventures, a little care goes a long way. Here’s how to make your tote last and look good doing it.
🧺 1. Is It Washable? (Mine Are!)
All Buy the Bag and More Signature Bags are made with washable fabrics. You can toss them in the washer on a gentle cycle, then air dry flat.
✔️ DO:
-
Use cold or warm water
-
Spot clean stains first with mild detergent
-
Reshape while drying (When air drying)
- Tumble Dry low heat
✖️ DON’T:
-
Use bleach or harsh chemicals
-
Throw it in the dryer on High (High heat could damage the hardware)
-
Wring or twist the straps

- Handwash with mild soap + water
- Dry inside out then reverse to right side out to finish
- DO NOT use chemicals to clean clear vinyl
- DO NOT iron viny
🧼 3. How to Spot Clean Leather or Faux Leather
For leather or faux leather bags (like in the Western or Men’s collections), use:
-
A soft cloth with a mix of mild soap + water
-
Wipe gently and dry immediately with a clean towel
Optional: Use a leather conditioner once a year to maintain softness.
🎒 4. Storage Tips
When not in use:
-
Stuff the inside with tissue or fabric to keep its shape
-
Hang or lay flat — avoid over-folding
-
Keep away from damp, dark corners
♻️ 5. Rotate Your Bags
Just like shoes, bags need a break. Rotating your bags keeps them clean longer and helps them last for years.
🧵 Why It Matters
Bags aren’t just accessories, they carry your essentials, your style, and your story. A little care makes them last longer and looks better, which means more compliments and more mileage.
