Care & Materials

About Our Materials

At Gigi's Bags, every bag starts with the finest materials — because we believe quality is something you feel from the very first touch. We use premium cotton cord, a natural and durable fiber that gives each piece its unique texture and becomes more beautiful with time.

We also incorporate synthetic and natural leather, jute accents, gold-tone hardware, and adjustable straps — all carefully chosen so your bag not only looks amazing, but lasts for years to come.

We work with trusted suppliers from the USA, Turkey, China, and Colombia, always sourcing the best so that every Gigi's bag is a piece you'll love carrying every day. 🌿

What to Expect from Your Bag

  • Each bag is handmade, so slight variations in texture and shape are part of its unique character — not a defect.
  • Cotton cord is firm and structured when new and softens slightly with regular use.
  • Colors may vary slightly from screen to screen due to monitor settings and natural dye variations.

Cleaning & Care

  • Spot clean only — use a damp cloth with mild soap for small stains. Do not submerge in water.
  • Air dry — lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight to preserve color and shape.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to rain or moisture, as cotton cord can absorb water and temporarily lose its shape.
  • Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Storage Tips

  • Store your bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Stuff with tissue paper to help the bag maintain its shape when not in use.
  • Avoid hanging by the strap for long periods — store flat or upright to prevent stretching.

Durability

With proper care, your Gigi's Bag is built to last. Cotton cord is a resilient material used in artisan crafts worldwide. Our bags are reinforced at stress points and finished with attention to detail so they can be your everyday companion for years to come.
