Whether you're using it for shopping, styling, or gifting, here's how to wash and care for your Kazana tote to make it last for years.

🌀 How to Wash Cotton Tote Bags (Machine & Hand Wash)

Cotton tote bags are low-maintenance, but proper care helps preserve their fabric strength and print quality. Follow these easy steps:

✅ Machine Washing

  • Use cold water: Set your washing machine to a gentle or delicate cycle.

  • Mild detergent only: Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach that can damage the fibers.

  • Turn inside out: This protects any printed design from direct abrasion.

  • Wash with similar colors: Prevent color bleeding, especially during the first wash.

🚫 Avoid:

  • Hot water cycles

  • Harsh spin settings

  • Washing with sharp-edged or heavy items (zippers, buckles)

✋ Hand Washing for Printed Designs (Highly Recommended)

If your Kazana tote features one of our limited-edition Pharaoh, Cleopatra, or Anubis prints, treat it like wearable art.

  1. Fill a basin with cool or lukewarm water.

  2. Add a small amount of gentle detergent.

  3. Soak the bag for 5–10 minutes.

  4. Gently rub any stained areas with your fingers or a soft cloth.

  5. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Do not scrub the print directly, as it may cause fading over time.

🌬️ Drying Tips to Preserve Shape & Color

  • Air dry only: Lay flat or hang to dry in a shaded area.

  • Avoid tumble dryers: High heat can cause shrinkage and color damage.

  • Do not wring out: Instead, press gently to remove excess water.

⭐ Bonus Tip: Ironing Cotton Totes

If your bag wrinkles after washing:

  • Use a warm iron (not hot).

  • Place a thin cloth over the design area before ironing to avoid direct heat.

🌱 Final Thoughts: Sustainability Starts with Care

By caring for your Kazana tote bag the right way, you're not just preserving fabric—you’re protecting a piece of Egyptian heritage, reducing waste, and embracing slow fashion. Our bags are built to last, but your care keeps them beautiful.
