With this care guide you can enjoy your new raffia bag for many years to come. REFRESHING & RESHAPING Fortunately, raffia has a natural resin and while it may start to break down and soften after a while, you can help reactivate the natural resins by using a little steam. Note: The resin might be visible when you steam darker coloured raffia. Simply brush it off with a soft dry cloth or brush once it’s dry. Stuff the bag with colourless, acid free tissue paper. Use a domestic iron on the steam setting or a traditional clothes steamer. Steam the outside of the bag until warm and slightly moist to touch. Make sure the iron plate is about 10cm away from the bag; don’t let the iron directly touch the bag. Reform the bag to the desired shape with your hands whilst the bag is drying naturally. Allow to cool and dry naturally in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Trimming: If your bag has developed small fly away fibres, you can easily trim them with a sharp pair of scissors or snips; This won’t cause structural damage or unravel the bag. Cleaning: Spot clean using a soft cloth, cold water and mild detergent then allow it to dry naturally. Consult a dry cleaning professional for stain removal.
