How to Care for Your Fabric Gift Bags (and Keep Them Looking Beautiful for Years)

Your Gift Me Again bags aren’t just gift-wrappers — they’re little treasures designed to be used and loved over and over again. Crafted from 100% cotton fabric and finished with a 100% cotton cord, they’re both sturdy and natural. With a little care, they’ll stay soft, colourful, and ready to wrap countless gifts in the future.

Here’s how to look after your fabric gift bags so they’ll last a lifetime:

Washing

If your bag needs a refresh, spot clean with mild detergent and cold water. For a deeper clean, use a gentle cold machine wash or hand wash. Always avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that can damage natural fibres and fade colours.

Drying

Line dry in the shade for best results. Direct, strong sun can fade cotton, while tumble drying on high heat may shrink the fabric.

Ironing

To keep your gift bag looking crisp, give it a quick press with a moderate heat iron. Steam is absolutely fine too — in fact, a little steam can help cotton look fresh and smooth out those stubborn wrinkles.

Caring for the Cord

The cord is cotton too, so it’s best to avoid tugging or twisting when wet. If it stiffens after washing, a gentle roll or stretch while damp will help it lie neatly again.

Storage

Store your bags clean, dry, and folded flat. This keeps them fresh and ready for next time, without creasing or stretching the cord.

A Few Quick Don’ts

• Don’t bleach or soak for too long.
• Don’t tumble dry on high heat.
• Don’t wring the fabric when wet.

Looking after your fabric gift bags is simple — a gentle wash, a little shade, a quick press, and some thoughtful storage. With this care, your bags will last for years and years, wrapping love and memories in the most sustainable way.
