To preserve the artisan quality and environmentally astute nature of your Atticus & Elbie pieces, we recommend gentle care. Because our products feature intricate embroidery, one-off appliqués, and upcycled materials, they thrive with a "less is more" cleaning approach.

​

‘Pure Jeanius’ & Upcycled Denim Bags

• Spot Clean (Best): Use a damp cloth with a tiny bit of mild, non-bio detergent to treat specific marks.

• Hand Wash (Deep Clean): If a full refresh is needed, soak in cool water with gentle detergent for 5–10 minutes. Avoid aggressive scrubbing to protect the embroidery.

• Drying: Always air dry flat in a shaded, ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade denim and threads.

• Pro Tip: Never tumble dry; heat can warp the denim and loosen the stitching. 

'Quilted Edit '  (Weekenders, Totes, & Pouches)

•  General Care: Most quilted items are best hand-washed or wiped down with a damp, soapy cloth.

• Machine Wash: If the care label allows, use a cold, delicate cycle with the bag placed inside a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging.

• Reshape: While damp, gently reshape the bag by hand and lay it flat or hang it to dry.

• Hair Tool Bags: Ensure your tools have cooled for at least 5–10 minutes before storing them to protect the internal insulation.

 Bespoke Children’s Teepees 

• Maintenance: Regularly shake out the fabric to remove dust.

• Cleaning: To protect the structural integrity and embroidery, spot clean only with a damp cloth.

• Washing: If a deep clean is necessary, remove the wooden poles first. We recommend hand-washing the canopy to prevent the ties and appliqués from getting tangled or damaged in a machine.

• Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry
