Beaded Earring Care Guide

Your beaded earrings are delicate, handmade pieces that deserve careful attention. To keep them looking their best for years to come:

📿Beads are small and intricate—avoid tugging or pulling on your earrings to prevent breakage.

💧Moisture can weaken the thread and damage the beads. Avoid wearing your earrings while swimming, showering, or in humid environments.

🧴Keep your earrings away from perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, and other chemicals that may cause discoloration or damage.

👝 When not in use, store your earrings in a soft pouch or jewelry box to prevent tangling, snagging, or crushing.

🧹If needed, lightly dust with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid water, soaps, or cleaning solutions.

Dropping or pressing the earrings may damage the beads or cause the thread to loosen.

Each pair of earrings is a unique, handmade piece—treat them with care and love to ensure they last for years to come.

Wayuu Mochilas Care Guide

Your Wayuu mochila is more than just a bag—it's a work of art, a story woven by skilled artisans using traditional techniques passed down through generations. Made with durable, hypoallergenic acrylic threads, these bags are not only lightweight and resistant to damage but also designed to stand the test of time. With a little love and the right care, your mochila will remain vibrant, soft, and beautiful for years to come.

🧼 Always hand wash your Wayuu mochila in cold water with a mild detergent. Machine washing can weaken the fibers and distort the weave.

🪥For minor stains, gently dab the area with a soft cloth or toothbrush, mild soap, and water. Avoid scrubbing, as this can damage the threads.

🚫 Never use bleach or harsh cleaning products—these can cause discoloration and degrade the fabric.

🪟 After washing, reshape your mochila and hang it to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading of the vibrant colors.

🪮 Gently brush the tassels with a soft brush or your fingers to prevent tangles and knots. This small step keeps your mochila looking fresh and neat.

Extra Tips to Keep Your Mochila in Perfect Shape

When not in use, store your mochila in a cool, dry place. Avoid heavy stacking to maintain its shape.

While Wayuu mochilas are strong, overfilling them with heavy weight over time can stretch strain the handles. Give your mochi a break from time to time from heaviness!

If you’re traveling, gently roll your mochila to save space while keeping its shape intact.

Each mochila is unique—an expression of culture, creativity, and craftsmanship. Treat it with care, and it will reward you with years of beauty and use.

By following these simple care instructions, your Wayuu mochila will continue to brighten your days with its colors and story, just as it did the day you first got it!
