About the WIREBAG Material
ANTEPRIMA WIREBAG’s appeal comes from its distinctive woven structure and proprietary material. Our brand’s signature wire is both flexible and supportive, allowing each bag to feel lightweight while holding a clean, sculptural shape.
Every WIREBAG is handcrafted, slight variations may appear in shape, size, thickness of the weave, and handle length. These subtle differences are part of the character of handcrafted design and make each piece uniquely its own.
The shape of a WIREBAG may also change slightly over time, depending on how it is used, the weight of the items carried, and the way it is stored. Proper care and storage can help prevent the bag from losing its shape and keep it in its best possible condition.
How to Clean Your WIREBAG
1. Wipe the surface gently with a soft, damp cloth
If dust or minor marks appear on the surface, use a soft, clean cloth lightly dampened with water to gently wipe the exterior of the bag.
When wiping, follow the direction of the woven texture and avoid excessive rubbing or pressure on one area. Simple everyday cleaning can help maintain the WIREBAG’s clean appearance and natural luster.
2. Dry it gently if it gets wet
If your WIREBAG comes into contact with rain or liquid, blot the surface with a dry, soft cloth to absorb the moisture. Avoid rubbing, as this may put unnecessary pressure on the woven texture.
After blotting, place the bag in a cool, well-ventilated indoor space and let it air dry. Avoid using heat to speed up the process, as this may affect the bag’s shape and finish.
3. Avoid chemical cleaning products
Do not use alcohol, bleach, stain removers, or other chemical cleaners on your WIREBAG.
Some cleaning ingredients may affect the bag’s shine, flexibility, or surface finish. For routine care, clean water and a soft cloth are enough.
What to Keep in Mind When Using Your WIREBAG
1. Avoid carrying overly heavy items
To help preserve the WIREBAG’s shape and handle structure, avoid carrying heavy items for long periods.
Laptops, large insulated bottles, multiple books, and other heavier essentials can put extra strain on the handles. Over time, this may cause the bag to lose shape or damage the handles.
Your WIREBAG is best suited for daily outings, social occasions, and dressier moments. It is designed to carry essentials such as a phone, wallet, cosmetics, and other small personal items.
2. Be careful with sharp objects
Because the woven structure is flexible, sharp objects or items with hard edges may press against one area of the WIREBAG.
Keys, metal accessories, compact mirrors, and electronic accessories should be placed in a pouch or protective case before being carried inside the bag. This helps reduce friction and protects the woven surface.
3. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight
Extended exposure to direct sunlight may affect the material’s luster and flexibility.
If you are spending a long time outdoors, or leaving the WIREBAG in a hot car, heat and sunlight may increase the risk of premature wear. Avoid exposing the bag to direct sunlight for long periods.
4. Keep it away from high heat and open flames
Do not place your WIREBAG near heaters, open flames, or extremely hot environments.
Excessive heat may compromise the material and alter the bag’s shape, finish, or overall structure.
How to Store Your WIREBAG Properly
1. Store it in its original dust bag
When your WIREBAG is not in use, place it inside the original dust bag provided with your purchase.
The dust bag helps protect it from dust and prevents the surface from rubbing directly against other items.
2. Use soft stuffing to help maintain its shape
To help preserve the WIREBAG’s shape, place soft stuffing inside, such as clean cotton cloth or acid-free paper.
Light support can help the bag keep its natural silhouette and prevent dents during long-term storage.
Avoid using newspaper or any paper that may bleed ink or color, as it could stain the bag.
3. Avoid pressure and long-term hanging
Do not place heavy objects on top of your WIREBAG during storage, as this may affect the woven structure.
Long-term hanging is not recommended, as continuous tension may affect the shape of the handles. For best results, store the bag flat in a cool, dry place.
WIREBAG Care FAQs
1. How do I fix a slightly misshapen WIREBAG?
If your WIREBAG has slightly lost its shape due to storage or use, place soft stuffing inside the bag and lay it flat in a cool, dry place. This may help the bag gradually return to a more natural silhouette.
2. Can I wash my WIREBAG?
No. Do not soak your WIREBAG in water or rinse it directly under running water.
Soaking the bag may affect the material and overall structure. Spot cleaning is enough for daily care.
3. How can I restore my WIREBAG’s shine?
Everyday dust and residue may make the bag appear dull over time.
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth, then let it air dry in a cool, well-ventilated area. This can help bring back its natural shine and finish.
4. How should I store my WIREBAG long-term?
Before storing your WIREBAG, clean it gently and make sure it is fully dry. Add enough soft stuffing, place it in its dust bag, and store it in a cool, dry place.
