How to Care for Your Bag Charms (Keep Them Fluffy for Years)

Bag charms live the hardest life of any plush: dangling from zippers, bumping into doorframes, riding in jacket pockets. The good news: they are tougher than they look, and keeping them fluffy takes almost no effort.

Everyday Care

Our official care instruction for charms is simple: hand wash only, avoid prolonged direct sunlight, and keep them dry. Day to day, that means:

  • Keep them out of the rain. If a charm gets soaked, squeeze out water gently with a towel and air dry it away from sunlight and heaters.
  • Rotate your charms. If you hang the same charm on the same bag every single day, the clip point wears first. Swapping between two bags doubles its life.
  • Keep them out of direct sun when not in use. A drawer or a shelf keeps colors bright for years.

When It Needs a Wash

  1. Fill a bowl with cool or lukewarm water and a drop of mild detergent.
  2. Swish the charm gently for a minute — no scrubbing, no wringing.
  3. Rinse until the water is clear.
  4. Press out water between two towels, then air dry fully before clipping it back on.

Never put a charm in the washing machine or dryer — the hardware and the plush shape will both suffer.

Restoring the Fluff

Over time, fur on a charm can get pressed flat where it rubs against your bag. Fix it with your fingers: gently tease the fur back against its grain, then smooth it into place. Two minutes of fussing makes a charm look newly unboxed.

Clip Care

The metal clip is stainless and sturdy, but check it now and then — if a clip ever loosens, stop wearing the charm that day and contact us. We would rather help early than see a charm get lost.
