Care & Materials

About Our Materials

All Gigi's Bags are handcrafted using premium cotton cord — a durable, natural fiber that gives each bag its signature texture and structure. Cotton cord is lightweight, breathable, and develops a beautiful character with use.

Some styles also feature jute accents, gold-tone hardware, and adjustable straps crafted to complement the natural aesthetic of each piece.

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.
