Frequently Asked Questions
Are these bags durable?
Each bag is carefully reworked by hand, but because of the materials used, they are more delicate than a traditional handbag. They’re best treated as a statement or special-occasion accessory rather than an everyday, heavy-use bag.
Can I wear my bag in the rain?
No—these bags should be kept dry. Moisture can affect the texture and shape of the feathers and may cause damage to the materials. If there is rain in the forecast, I recommend leaving your bag at home or protecting it in a larger tote.
How should I store my bag?
Store your bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If possible, keep it in a dust bag or pillowcase so the feathers stay protected and don’t get flattened.
How do I keep the feathers looking fluffy?
Feathers naturally settle over time, but they can easily be refreshed. To fluff them up:
- Gently shake or shake out the bag by hand
- Use low, cool air from a hair dryer to lift and separate feathers
- Letting it sit in indirect sunlight for a short time can also help revive volume
Avoid heavy brushing or pulling, as this can damage the feathers.
Can the feathers get damaged?
Yes—because they are delicate, feathers can become flattened or shed slightly with friction or rough handling. Light use and mindful storage will help keep your bag looking its best.
Are all bags the same?
Nope! Every bag is completely one-of-a-kind. Each piece is individually sourced, cleaned, and reimagined by hand, so no two will ever be exactly alike.
How should I care for my bag while wearing it?
Try to avoid:
- Heavy rubbing against clothing (like sequins or rough fabrics)
- Overstuffing the bag
- Sitting the bag on rough or dirty surfaces
Treat it gently and it will stay beautiful longer.
What are the handles made of?
Some bags feature handmade beaded handles created by me using jewelry wire and secondhand or repurposed beads sourced from estate sales and thrift shops. Each handle is unique and varies depending on the materials available. Avoid pulling, bending, or twisting the handle too forcefully, as this can affect its shape over time.
