Care Guide

Care Guide

A well-cared-for Bowryn bag should last for years. Follow these simple instructions to keep your bag looking its best.

Daily care

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth at the end of each day to remove dust and surface dirt.
Avoid overstuffing — give the nylon room to keep its shape.
When not in use, store stuffed lightly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Cleaning the nylon

For surface dirt, use a slightly damp microfiber cloth with cold water. Gently wipe in circular motions and let air dry.

For tougher stains, mix a small amount of mild soap with water. Apply with a soft cloth, blot (don’t rub), and let air dry naturally.

Do not:

Submerge the bag in water
Use harsh chemicals, bleach, or alcohol-based cleaners
Machine wash or tumble dry
Use a hairdryer or place near direct heat

If your bag gets wet

Bowryn nylon is water-resistant but not waterproof. If your bag is caught in heavy rain:

Empty the contents
Wipe down the exterior with a dry cloth
Stuff loosely with tissue paper to maintain shape
Let air dry in a well-ventilated space, away from heaters

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
Stuff lightly with tissue paper to maintain shape
Avoid hanging by the straps for long periods (can stretch them)
Keep away from sharp objects, pets, and direct sunlight

Hardware care

The brass-finish hardware (gold finish on The Pouch) is durable and designed to age well. To preserve the finish:

Avoid contact with jewelry, keys, and sharp objects in the same compartment
Wipe occasionally with a soft, dry cloth
If exposed to moisture, dry with a soft cloth and let air dry fully before storage

Repair commitment

If something breaks or wears unexpectedly within reasonable use, email hello@bowryn.com. We’d rather fix it than have you replace it.
