Care Guide

Care Guide

Your Rukuh bag is a handmade investment. Treat it accordingly.

Daily Handling

  • Handle your bag with clean, dry hands.
  • Avoid contact with oils, perfumes, and lotions — apply these before putting on your bag.
  • Do not overload the bag. Crystal beadwork has weight limits and overfilling stresses the seams.

Cleaning

  • Spot clean only using a soft, damp cloth. Do not rub — dab gently.
  • Never submerge in water or use a washing machine.
  • Do not use cleaning solvents, bleach, or alcohol-based products.
  • For stubborn spots, use a very small amount of mild soap diluted in water.

Storage

  • Store in the dust bag provided, or wrapped in soft fabric.
  • Keep away from direct sunlight and humidity — these can fade crystals and weaken bead thread.
  • Do not stack heavy items on top of your bag.
  • Store upright to maintain the bag's shape.

Hardware & Chains

  • Wipe hardware with a soft dry cloth after each use.
  • Avoid prolonged contact with water — this can tarnish gold-plated hardware.
  • Do not polish with abrasive materials.

Repairs

Beaded bags are delicate by nature. If a bead or two comes loose over time, this is normal wear. We offer repair services — reach out to us at leadorsys@gmail.com with photos and we'll advise on next steps.
