Water Resistant by Design

All WaveWorn bags are made from 100% recycled sailcloth, making them naturally water resistant and perfect for handling everyday spills or rain. While the fabric can withstand water, parts like seams, handles, and zippers are more delicate. So, while a splash won't harm your bag, it’s best to avoid submerging it in water. (We recommend not taking it snorkeling!)

Keeping White Sailcloth Bags in Top Shape

White sailcloth bags often retain marks from their seafaring past, giving each bag a unique look. While new stains can be gently wiped away with a damp cloth, these vintage markings are a testament to the stories your bag carries.

Adventure-Ready Care

Our bags are built to accompany you on all your adventures, from beach days to weekend getaways. For those inevitable stains that come with living a life full of stories, a gentle machine wash will do the trick. Just remember, your bag’s character is part of its charm, and over-washing isn’t necessary.

CARING FOR YOUR WAVEWORN GEAR

Washing Your WaveWorn Gear Bag

WaveWorn bags are crafted from durable, upcycled sailcloth, built to last through any adventure. While most of our bags are machine washable without shrinking or losing shape, it’s important to be cautious. If your bag features vintage insignias, darker handles, or performance fabrics, it’s best to wash sparingly.

Caring for Your Sailcloth Bag

For a quick refresh, machine wash your WaveWorn sailcloth bag using a gentle cycle with cold water and a clear detergent. Air dry by hanging it by the handles—it's that simple! Steer clear of bleach or the dryer, as both can cause damage.

Spot Cleaning Made Easy

In many cases, a full machine wash isn’t necessary. Often, a spot clean will bring your bag back to life. For best results, test any cleaner on a hidden area first and choose eco-friendly options to protect the environment.

How to Spot Clean:

  1. Spray a gentle stain remover

  2. Let it sit for a few minutes

  3. Wipe it with a clean cloth

No harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing required! Your bag is restored, ready for its next chapter.
