Using a soft, lint-free cloth, dry the jewelry and buff the surface with a microfiber cloth so it shines.

The Ankara Twillys can be placed in the washing machine using cold water and mild soap on a delicate setting. Cold water allows the fabric to maintain its structure and vibrance. Note that the more you wash these handbags and accessories, the higher the likelihood of the fabric.

Spot treating is recommend to retain the integrity of the glue.

-Drying and Storage
Let the handbag and Ankara Twillys air-dry in a dry area. Make sure the area is not damp or humid. Air drying preserves the color and structure of the fabric. Once dry, wrap the Ankara Twillys back around the handles of the bag, and store the bag inside of the dust-bag, this will protect it from lent and fading due to sun exposure.
