What is a formal bag?
Formal bags are bags that are mainly used with black formal wear such as "mourning clothes" or "ceremonial wear" and are used in various scenes such as entrance ceremonies, graduation ceremonies, wakes, funerals, Shichi-Go-San, and recitals. Even in today's world where fashion is diversifying, there are certain formal etiquette rules that must never be changed in such important scenes. Iwasa offers this important culture that must never be changed along with traditional Japanese techniques.How to choose a formal bag

How to care for your formal bag
-
Painting
To remove dirt and dust from the surface of the bag, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. We recommend using a microfiber cloth, which does not leave any lint. If you have foundation on the bag, wipe it with a cloth that has been wrung out in water, then wipe it dry.
-
Dry in a well-ventilated place
If you use it on a rainy day or during a humid season, dry it in the shade for about a day in a well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight to prevent mold growth.
*If it gets wet due to rain or other reasons, dry it off as soon as possible.
*If the bag has been scratched or if the gusset has popped out because it has been overstuffed, the response will vary depending on the condition of the scratch and the gusset, so please first contact us using the information below.

How to store your formal bag
-
Insert paper
If you store the bag in the paper (anko) that comes with it, it will absorb the moisture in the bag and prevent mold from growing. Formal bags in the lightweight series (soft finish) also help to keep their shape.

Stored in a gift box
Store in a box away from direct sunlight and avoid high temperatures and humidity. If you don't have a box, store in a drawstring bag. If you store without a box, avoid stacking them on top of each other as they may become deformed.
*Using gasoline or thinners, or washing with water may damage the fabric.
*Please do not store the product with insect repellents, perfume, etc. as this may cause discoloration, deterioration, or peeling.
*Please note that if exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time, discoloration may occur due to ultraviolet rays.

How to care for and store your horse hair bag
Gently brush off any dirt, preferably with a soft-bristled brush.
If the hair stands up and becomes itchy, use thread cutters to cut it off at the root.
*We do not recommend using oils or creams as they may cause discoloration or stains.
Handling and storage instructions
Storing it in a hot and humid place can cause mold to grow. If mold does grow, even if you try to wipe it off with a brush or cloth, the roots of the fungus will penetrate deep into the tissue, leaving marks and making it difficult to clean.
It is important to prevent mold growth during storage. Mold will grow when the elements of dirt, high temperature and humidity are present, so clean the item, dry it in a cool, well-ventilated place, and store it in a presentation box or drawstring bag.
*After use, wipe lightly dry with a soft cloth and store in a cloth bag in a low-humidity, well-ventilated, low-temperature place.
*Please avoid storing in non-breathable materials such as plastic bags.
Please refrain from storing the product in a poorly ventilated bag or box as this may cause mold to grow.
