Storage

Store in a dry place and avoid compressing the fabric for long periods to maintain structure.

Common Issues & How to Handle Them

Canvas may develop light staining or surface dirt with regular use. Spot clean promptly to prevent marks from setting. If the fabric becomes slightly wrinkled or creased, gently reshape it by hand—avoid heat, as it may weaken the fibers or cause shrinkage.

Sustainability & Ethical Impact

Canvas is a durable material that extends product life through long-term use. Its strength reduces the need for replacements, lowering waste and encouraging a more sustainable consumption cycle.
