Denim Bag - Michael

Meet the Michael Denim Bag.

Michael is crafted from mid-blue recycled denim, giving it a rich, timeless color that pairs effortlessly with any outfit. The bag features natural variations in tone, created by combining the outer and inner sides of the jeans. While the outside of the denim brings deeper blue hues, the inside reveals softer, lighter shades - resulting in a unique texture and a subtle, dimensional finish.

Each bag starts with a single pair of jeans. The denim is cut into strips, carefully prepared, and transformed into yarn before being crocheted entirely by hand. This process takes hours of detailed work and makes every piece truly one of a kind.

Finished with gold hardware, Michael has a slightly more elevated and refined feel, perfect for both everyday wear and more dressed-up looks.

Inside, the bag is lined with soft cotton that is hand-sewn into place. The inner pocket is made from the original denim, preserving a part of the jeans and its story.

This is slow fashion - thoughtfully made, sustainable and designed to last.

Care Instructions for your Bäxie Bag: 

Taking care of your Bäxie properly will help it stay beautiful and last longer. Follow these detailed instructions, and remember what not to do!

Washing:

• Use a gentle hand wash program on your washing machine. Set it to low temperature (20°C/68°F) and low spin speed. If you’re unsure, wash the bag gently by hand with lukewarm water and a mild detergent.
• Do not use fabric softener - it can affect the texture and durability of the material.

Drying:

• Do not tumble dry. Instead, let your bag air dry in a shaded area. Open it up and hang it upside down so that water can drain out. This also helps the bag keep its shape.
  
• Avoid placing your bag near heating devices like radiators or vents. The heat can cause the material to lose its original shape.
  
• Do not dry in direct sunlight. Too much sun can fade the colors and weaken the fibers over time.

Spot Cleaning:

• If there’s a small stain, gently dab it with a damp cloth and a tiny bit of mild detergent. Don’t scrub hard, as this can damage the yarn.

Storage:

• Store your bag in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading.
  
• When storing for a longer time, stuff the bag lightly with tissue paper or a soft towel to help maintain its shape.
  
• Keep your bag away from rough or sharp objects to avoid snags or pulls in the crochet fabric.

Ironing and Chemicals:

• Do not iron your Bäxie. The heat can damage the delicate yarn.
  
• Avoid using bleach or any harsh chemicals. These can cause discoloration and weaken the fibers.

Before Washing:

• Remove all chains, rings, or decorations from your bag before washing. This prevents damage to both the bag and the hardware.

By following these simple yet important steps, your Bäxie will stay gorgeous and functional for years to come. Treat it with love - it’s one of a kind! 💕
