Our tote bags are made from a scrumptiously soft but durable material. (I thought it was magical & didn’t want to ruin it in the washer & dryer. But mom thought my own bag was disgracefully yukky.) And I’m happy to report the bag made it through a regular cycle in a washer & dryer. It didn’t come up like crumpled craft paper! At most it shrank by an inch but the softness remained! Stay tuned for more styles.
