A clasp purse is a gentle companion in your daily life.
Its shape, which fits in the palm of your hand, is somehow nostalgic, and it soothes the soul every time you use it.

This time, we will introduce basic care methods to keep your cloth purse beautiful and in good condition for a long time.

[When you are concerned about dirt]
Because clasps are often touched by hands, oils and dust gradually accumulate on them.
Especially with fabric items, dirt can be more noticeable depending on the material, and if left unattended, the texture can be damaged.
In such cases, please take care of it gently using the following methods.
■ Gently wipe with a dry cloth. To remove dust or light dirt from the surface, simply wipe it gently with a soft cloth.
We recommend using a cloth with fine fibers, such as microfiber cloth or gauze, which is less likely to scratch the surface.
The key is to wipe gently without rubbing.
■ When using a neutral detergent: If the stain is stubborn, soak a cloth in water-diluted neutral detergent and gently tap the stain to remove it.
At this time, be careful not to get water on the metal parts.
To ensure no detergent remains, it is a good idea to finish by wiping with a tightly wrung cloth.
■ Dry naturally in the shade. Leaving the product wet can cause mold and odors.
After washing, let it dry naturally in a well-ventilated shade, avoiding direct sunlight.
It is recommended to dry the garment inside out as exposure to sunlight can cause fading.

[Daily care makes a difference]
With a little bit of daily care, your clasp purse will last much longer.
To enjoy your favorite item for as long as possible, try making the following care habits a habit.
■ When not in use, store in a well-ventilated place. Leaving it in a humid place for a long time can cause mold and odors.
Place cloth purses in a breathable bag to ensure they can breathe even in a drawer or box.
For added security, add insect repellent and desiccant.
■ Stuff soft paper inside to prevent it from losing its shape.If you will not be using it for a long period of time, you can maintain its shape by loosely stuffing it with tissue or Japanese paper.
Types with gussets are especially recommended for maintaining a three-dimensional appearance.
Stuffing also helps prevent distortion of the metal parts.
■ To prevent creaking metal fittings, apply a small amount of sewing machine oil with a cotton swab.If there is a creaking sound when opening and closing the door, apply a small amount of sewing machine oil with a cotton swab.
Then wipe off any excess oil with a dry cloth.
It is important to work carefully so that the oil does not get on the fabric.
