How to care Natural Fibers & Leather: Embrace the Art of Woven Craft
By Danilo's Editorial
Pieces crafted with a blend of leather and natural fibers like Tule and Junco lend each bag a unique character — and require specific care.
For items crafted with a blend of leather and natural fibers, such as woven bags made from Tule and Junco, these unique materials lend each piece a distinct character. Grown in Honduras, these fibers have been used traditionally for generations, valued for their resilience and versatility. These natural fibers require specific care to retain their beauty:
- Breathable Storage: Natural fibers like Tule and Junco need to breathe, so avoid plastic bags and store your item in its original dust bag. Keeping it in a cool, dry place prevents mold growth and helps maintain its woven texture.
- Alternate Usage: Like leather, woven fibers benefit from occasional rest. Rotating your bags prevents overuse, keeping each one as stunning as the day you brought it home.
- Prevent Color Transfer: Some fibers are richly dyed, and high temperatures or extended contact with light fabrics can cause color transfer. Protect your woven items by limiting heat exposure and storing them away from direct sunlight.
- Gentle Cleaning: Use a soft-bristle brush to remove dust and dirt, always brushing in the direction of the weave. This will help preserve the integrity of the fibers without causing wear or fraying.
- Aging Gracefully: Over time, natural fibers may gently fade. This subtle change adds character and a story unique to your piece, highlighting the authenticity of its Honduran origin.
