Can I wash my tote bags and/or zippered pouches? If so, what do you recommend?

Yes, your tote bags and pouches are washable. You can either wash them by hand or machine wash. 

How to machine wash: I recommend a delicate setting on cool or cold, hot temperatures can cause shrinkage because the fabric is cotton, and a detergent that is gentle on fabrics. No bleach. You can also turn your bag or pouch inside out to help protect the design. 

How to dry: If you use a dryer, I recommend using as low of a temperature as possible, hot temperatures will shrink the bag, do not leave in the dryer for more than 10 minutes. If not fully dry, hang the bag to complete the drying process. Use an iron to remove wrinkles. Iron should be set to a low cotton setting and keep iron moving at all times, this will ensure you do not burn your fabric. 

How to air dry: Ring out excess water and hang to dry. Turn your bag inside out and right side out on occasion to ensure your bag is fully dry. Use an iron to remove wrinkles. Iron should be set to a low cotton setting and keep iron moving at all times, this will ensure you do not burn your fabric. 

Shipping and local pick up

Yes, I ship my art. Shipping is currently limited to the U.S. at this time due to tariffs and rising prices. I am currently working on what will be the best way to get my work to those in other countries. I'm sorry for the inconvenience this causes. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
