FABRIC CONTENTS

Fabrics of many and varied patterns - Florals, Stripes, Novelty, Spots, Tartans and Retro designs.

Outer fabrics of Folly Flora Bags are generally medium/heavier weight cottons, corduroy, cotton canvas, needlecord, cotton drill or upholstery furnishing fabrics of mixed composition, cotton with some wool content or polyester jersey (for linings). 

The 'Vintage' Collection of Bags are made using 'vintage' fabrics with traditional design patterns.

The 'Upcycled & Recycled' Collection of Bags are made from repurposed and reclaimed fabrics from my stash of 'vintage or charity shop finds' of new fabric lengths and rolls, interesting quality clothing, faded curtains, tablecloths and old lace.

Inner linings are in lighter/medium weight cotton, polyester cotton mix or polyester jersey fabrics.

Handles constructed from outer and liner fabrics or cotton and mixed fibre braids and webbing.

Padded with polyester wadding and/or stiffening fabrics and materials.

Embellished with buttons, magnetic closures, fibre tassels, bead fringes applique patches and trims.

WASHING & CARE INSTRUCTIONS

N.B. The majority of Folly Flora Bags should be HAND washed only unless the product details state the Bag can be MACHINE washed (on a LOW temperature setting). If in doubt HAND WASH.

HAND wash at low temperature using a mild detergent, gentle hand wring or better still drip dry from rinsing stage (some heavy cottons can be hard work to iron if badly creased by vigorous wringing or accidental spin drying) pull to shape and preferably line dry in the open air.

DO NOT SPIN DRY.  DO NOT TUMBLE DRY.
IRON outer (only if necessary) on MEDIUM heat. The lining should not require ironing, if it does please use iron on LOW heat (only if necessary).

NB. It is advisable to WASH DARK COLOURS SEPARATELY.

Dark coloured fabrics should be washed separately from other items in case of colour bleeding/running (particularly reds and indigo blues) at least for the first few washes.
