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
