Machine Washable Bags

Your bag has been through some things. Spilled coffee, sticky kid fingers, the floor.  Most bags just... live with it. Ours go in the wash and come out looking new. Simply wash, dry, repeat. Forever.

What makes a bag machine washable?

It’s built in, not sprayed on. Our lightweight performance poly-canvas is explicitly engineered to survive the spin cycle without fading or losing its shape. Add in wipe-clean linings and wash-ready hardware, and you've got a bag built for real life. No special detergents required. Read more about our performance fabrics.

FAQs

Can you machine wash a purse or handbag?

Most purses, no — leather and structured bags don't survive it. Canvelle handbags are designed for it: wash on cold, machine dry low, done.

Are machine washable bags durable?

Yes if they are made from performance fabrics. And definitely more durable in practice, because washing keeps a bag in rotation. Dirt & stains are why bags get retired; ours just get washed.
