We've made a conscious choice to use only sustainable fibers, handwoven with care. Crafted from high-quality materials, each basket bag becomes even more beautiful over time. With just a little care, your masterpiece can accompany you for years to come.

To help you maintain its beauty, we provide a care pack:

- A cloth bag for storage

- A jar of beeswax to preserve your piece

To ensure your Victoria Handmade creation remains beautiful as the years pass, follow these simple guidelines:

- Avoid scratching or rubbing your product against abrasive surfaces, especially the reed body (raw material).

- Keep your piece away from damp or humid environments, and avoid direct exposure to sunlight or sources of heat (such as radiators or overheated car interiors).

- To protect your masterpiece when not in use, generously apply the provided beeswax and store it in its cloth bag in a dry, well-ventilated place (for example, hanging on a hanger or displayed as a decorative piece in your room).

- Once or twice a month, use a dry cloth to hydrate your basket with the beeswax, preventing wear and maintaining its natural beauty. Apply the beeswax to the reed body, leather, and hardware accessories.

By caring for your Victoria Handmade masterpiece properly, you'll be able to enjoy its beauty for many years to come.
