What materials are used to make the handbags?

At LUCIA, we take great pride in offering a unique and diverse range of handbags that are as exceptional as they are sustainable. We believe in repurposing and upcycling, which is why each handbag in our collection is made from donated high-quality fabric, resulting in a one-of-a-kind creation every time. Due to the nature of our process, all of our handbags are crafted from different materials, ensuring that no two designs are exactly alike.

How do I wash my purse?

Purses, particularly those made of delicate fabrics, are generally not designed to be washed. Washing them can lead to irreversible damage, color fading, shrinkage, loss of shape, or even the deterioration of the purse's overall appearance and functionality.

Instead of washing, it is recommended to follow these general purse care tips: 

1.    Spot Cleaning: Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap specifically designed for purses. Gently dab or wipe the affected area to remove stains or dirt. Always test any cleaning product on a small, inconspicuous area first.

2.    Protection: Consider using a protective spray or conditioner suitable for your purse's material to help repel stains and maintain its quality.

3.    Professional Cleaning: If your purse requires extensive cleaning or has stubborn stains, it's best to consult a professional cleaner who specializes in purse care. They have the expertise and knowledge to handle different materials properly.

Remember, prevention is key when it comes to purse care. Regular maintenance, gentle cleaning, and proper storage practices will help prolong the life and beauty of your purse.
