- Can you make a bag with a sport teams/Disney/Harry Potter... etc?
-
Although it is possible to find fabrics that feature copyrighted characters (e.g., Harry Potter) and trademarked logos (e.g., sports team logos), these fabrics are licensed for personal use only and are not for commercial use.
I am unable to make any products from these fabrics as it infringes the copyright.

Check the FAQs below for instructions on caring for your cork, waxed canvas, or vegan leather bags.
- How do I clean cork leather?
-
Cork can be cleaned using warm water, a little bit of mild dishwashing detergent, and a soft, clean cloth. Once clean, rinse the soap off with plenty of clean water and let air dry.
It is not recommended to wash in the washing machine.
- How do I care for waxed canvas?
-
Waxed canvas is a densely woven cotton fabric that has been treated with TexWax, making the fabric water resistant, stain resistant, and durable. The fabric naturally records fold marks and creases (called craze marks) and will develop a weathered patina over time.
To clean waxed canvas, use a soft damp cloth or brush to spot clean only. Do not wash, dry clean, or use any detergent. You may use saddle soap and a damp cloth for stains, but be sure to test it first in an inconspicuous spot.
Craze marks can be removed using a hairdryer on low heat, a few inches above the fabric and moving continuously.
- How do I care for vegan leather?
-
Faux leather can be cleaned using warm water, a little bit of mild dishwashing detergent, and a soft, clean cloth, such as a microfiber cloth.
