How to care for your crochet bags and clothes so they last longer.

Crochet is a timeless art that never goes out of style. Each handmade piece takes hours of dedication, care and creativity. Whether it's a bag, a shirt, a beach cover-up, trousers, a top or even a decorative accessory, crochet deserves special care to keep it looking beautiful and durable over time.

If you already own a crochet piece or are thinking of purchasing one, this guide is for you. We will show you simple and effective tips for caring for your crochet clothes and bags to ensure they last for many years.

1. How to wash crochet items properly

Always wash by hand, with cold or tepid water.
Use neutral soap or mild detergent, avoiding aggressive products.
Do not rub or wring the item. The ideal is to immerse it in water, pressing gently.

When possible, wash each item separately to prevent colours from bleeding.

🌞 2. How to dry without damaging
Never expose crochet directly to the sun, as it may fade.
Always dry in the shade, on a flat, clean surface.
Avoid hanging, as the weight of the water may deform the piece.
Extra tip: place a towel underneath to absorb excess water.

🧺 3. How to store your crochet pieces
Store folded in drawers or on shelves, never hanging on hangers.
Avoid damp places to prevent mould from forming.
If it is a small piece, such as bags or accessories, use fabric boxes to keep their shape.
🌸 4. Additional care
Only iron with a gentle steam iron, placing a cloth between the iron and the item.
To renew the fibres, occasionally soak in water with a little mild fabric softener.
Avoid perfumes or sprays directly on the item, as they may stain.
