CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

Hand wash only: Use cold or lukewarm water with a gentle, natural detergent.

  • Rinse thoroughly: Make sure all soap is removed to protect the fibres and colours.

  • Dry flat: Gently reshape the bag and lay it flat to air dry, away from direct sunlight.

  • Avoid wringing: Do not twist or wring the bag, as this can distort the weave.

  • Storage: Avoid hanging for long periods when full, as this can stretch the bag.

Bilums are handmade with natural fibres, so some variation in shape and colour is normal — part of the charm of your unique, artisan piece!
