How to care for formal bags

Karabuki
To remove dirt and dust from the surface of the bag, use a dry, soft cloth to gently pat it. We recommend using a cloth such as microfiber, which does not leave any fibers behind. If foundation gets on your face, wipe it with a damp cloth that has been wrung out thoroughly, then wipe it dry.

Dry in a well-ventilated place
If you use it on a rainy day or in a humid season, please dry it in the shade for about a day in a well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight to prevent mold from forming.
*If it gets wet due to rain, please dry it as soon as possible.

How to store formal bags

put paper
If you store the bag with the paper (red bean paste) inside it, it will absorb the moisture contained in the bag and prevent the growth of mold. The lightweight series (soft tailored) formal bags also have the role of preventing them from losing their shape.

Store in makeup box
Store it in a box in a place that is not exposed to direct sunlight and avoids high temperatures and humidity. If you don't have a box, store it in a drawstring bag. When storing items without putting them in a box, avoid stacking them on top of each other as this may cause deformation.

*Please do not store together with insect repellents, perfumes, etc. as this may cause discoloration, deterioration, and peeling.

Regarding handling and storage methods
Storing it in a hot and humid place may cause mold to grow. In the unlikely event that mold develops, 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 traces that will not be cleaned properly.
