SUSTAINABILITY
The project bags are made for crafters and made with raw, untreated canvas cotton. The inks are water based and Love it uses her imaginative and adveturous mind to find ever new ways of how to to keep our ecological footprint as small as possible. From reusing (Scrap bags) and using as little material as possible during the print process to making something beautiful from even the smallest printed scraps. It is Love it's ambition to create a product that is long lasting and will become a good friend. A friend you want to keep forever.
STURDY CANVAS
Love it believes in raw, untreated canvas (and yes... you will find some black cotton seeds) that stands upright by itself. It is not only excellent for the painting and printing process (Ingrid is a passionate painter) - it also facilitates comfortable knitting/crocheting hours. Your yarn can float undisturbed from the craftbag to the needles.
NO LINING
Love it also fimrly believe in the unlined craft bag. The yarnball in your bag can unspool smoothly, no friction and no searching for items in the folds of the lining. Leaving the lining also makes our bags surprisingy lightweight while being sturdy and durable. last but not least it also contributes to the bags' sustainability.
It's all Hand Made here in Amsterdam and small imperfections come with the Bag. Hope you understand.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Love it bags can be hand- and machine washed at up to 30 decrees Celsius. Don't leave them hours in the machine.. they will get too wrinkled and the wrinkles don’t get out. . Make sure to remove any leather pulls and to use a mild, liquid detergent and dry the bags lying flat after stretching them in to shape again. The bags can be ironed & pressed ( insideout) back into shape. The heat will change the color for a few seconds..don't worry!
