Canvas: The Sturdy Sidekick

What is it?

Canvas is like your dependable friend — strong, versatile, and always ready for an adventure! Made from 100% cotton, it’s perfect for bags, shoes, and more. At DailyObjects, it is a go-to material for our signature styles like the Field Tote, Pedal Daypack and Commute Messenger.

Care Tips:

Do not wash/bleach. Spot clean only with mild liquid cleaning solutions like diluted detergent or dish soap.

• No Washing: This one’s non-negotiable — canvas cannot be submerged and given a thorough wash ever — be it by hand or a machine. A wash can turn your sturdy companion into a faded, saggy mess.
• Spot Clean: Got a spill? Don’t panic! Use a damp cloth and a mild detergent (no bleach, only mild liquid cleaning solutions like diluted detergent or liquid dish soap) to dab away the mess. Avoid vigorous scrubbing unless you want to turn your bag into a modern art masterpiece.
• Air Dry: Canvas loves a good breeze! Let it dry naturally. Avoid the dryer unless you want to play a game of “guess the shrinkage.”
• Storage: Keep it away from moisture. Canvas can get mouldy faster than you can say “damp laundry.”

RPET: The Sustainable Wonder

What is it?

RPET is the eco-warrior of materials — recycled, durable and lightweight. Most common water bottles are made of PET, and we are recycling them to make a splash in fashion. Discover our Pangea collection crafted from RPET that includes an array of styles from fannies to slings and more.

Care Tips:

• Spot Clean Only: Keep RPET looking its best with occasional spot cleaning using a soft cloth and a mild detergent (no bleach, only mild liquid cleaning solutions like diluted detergent or liquid dish soap). Give any stains a gentle dab — no harsh scrubbing or machine washes allowed here.
• Avoid Heat: RPET doesn’t play well with high temperatures. Air dry away from direct sunlight to keep it in top form.
• Proper Storage: When not in use, keep your RPET bag in a dust bag, away from direct sunlight and in a dry place. To maintain its shape, gently fill it with soft materials like tissue or fabric—folding or flattening is a no-go, as it can compromise the structure and durability.

Polyester: The Dependable Choice

What is it?

Polyester is tough, versatile, and easygoing, making it a popular choice for all things functional, including bags and accessories. Our best-selling Drawstring and Recess collections are crafted from this dependable material.

Care Tips:

• Spot Clean Only: A quick spot clean with a damp cloth is all it takes. Polyester isn’t a fan of the washing machine and will thank you for keeping things simple. No bleach, only mild liquid cleaning solutions like diluted detergent or liquid dish soap. One cleaned, wipe down the wet spot a couple of times to mop up excess water and leave it to dry.
• Avoid High Heat: Keep it away from hot surfaces and direct sunlight to maintain its shape and texture.

Reflective: The Safety Star

What is it?

Reflective materials are your night owls, shining bright in low light and ensuring you’re seen. They’re great for safety gear and stylish bags. Beyond bags that you can’t stop staring at, the Reflective Collection also includes some lanyards that can be safely deemed cool.

Care Tips:

• Gentle Cleaning: Wipe with a damp cloth to maintain that shiny glow. Go easy on the pressure; a light hand is enough to remove marks left by sweaty or oily hands.
• Mind the Marks: Over time, reflective material can show scratches and marks — a testament to all the places you’ve been! Rather than flaws, these add character to your bag’s journey with you.
• Avoid Abrasion: Reflective surfaces are sensitive, so keep them away from rough surfaces to avoid any excessive wear. After all, you don’t want your reflective gear looking like it’s been through a battle.

Ripstop: The Tough Cookie

What is it?

Ripstop is like the superhero of fabrics! Reinforced with a special weave, it resists tearing and is perfect for outdoor gear. This is what our tech organisers like Vault are made of, and they’re as hardy as can be.

Care Tips:

• Spot Clean Only: Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning (no bleach, only mild liquid cleaning solutions like diluted detergent or liquid dish soap). Machine washes are a no-go for ripstop.
• Air Dry After Exposure: If your Ripstop gear gets caught in the rain or experiences a spill, spot clean first, wipe down the wet spot a couple of times to mop up excess water, and let it air out naturally. This fabric loves a good breather and will thank you for the fresh air!

Leather: The Timeless Classic

What is it?

Leather is like that classic movie you can watch again and again—always in style and getting better with age! While leather is built to last, it is a natural material and is sensitive to heavy use and extreme weather conditions. A little care as detailed below will help maintain its natural beauty and character for years to come.

Care Tips:

• Keep It Dry: Leather and water don’t mix well. If your leather gets splashed, gently blot with a soft cloth and let it dry naturally, away from any heat sources that might cause drying or cracking.
• Sunglasses On: Leather and sunlight? Not the best of friends. So keep your leather products in the shade and say bye to fade.
• Patina Appreciation: With each use, full-grain leather develops a unique patina that enhances its character and charm, creating a beautifully worn-in look that only gets better with time. Every scratch and mark adds to its authenticity, telling a story that’s as unique as the leather itself
