MERCADO BAG
Our mercado bags are inspired by the colorful mercados in Guatemala. Our mercados are filled with colorful fruits, veggies and flowers. A place where the community comes together to sell their harvest and shop for their delicious homemade meals.

‣ All products are entirely made by hand, there will always be a slight difference in color and dimensions
WASH
Wash your textiles and wool pieces carefully by hand with a PH neutral soap. Due to the natural dyes used in our products, colored water may run on the first washes; especially with darker dyed fabrics. But don't worry, this is normal and won’t stain other fabrics.
DRY
Air dry only. Do not put your textiles and wool pieces in the drying machine, this will jeopardize the integrity of your product.
HANDMADE COTTON PIECES
‣ delicate wash with cold water
‣ preferably wash by hand
‣ hang dry

HANDMADE WOOL PIECES
‣ spot wash with warm cloth + water

Due to the handmade nature of our products, the color and patterning may vary slightly from piece to piece. We value both the imperfection and the organic magic in the colors of our products. We believe this gives a uniquely distinct character to each of our finished crafts.
LONGEVITY
Avoid long periods of direct sun exposure. Natural plant-based dyes compared to synthetic dyes tend to fade in brightness with time. Follow our care instructions to ensure your new textiles stay bright and beautiful for years to come.
