How to look after your fanny pack ?

The fanny pack is an essential accessory for a practical, on-trend look. Whether slung over the shoulder, worn around the waist or slung over the shoulder, it can be adapted to any situation. At Papa Pique et Maman Coud, we offer fanny packs made from quality materials such as corduroy or coated cotton, which combine style and functionality. But how do you care for these different materials to preserve your bag for as long as possible? 
Here are a few simple tips on how to care for your fanny pack, depending on the fabric you've chosen. 

Corduroy fanny pack care: soft and delicate

Corduroy is an elegant, textured fabric, much appreciated for its softness and vintage look. However, it's a more fragile fabric that requires special care to keep its allure. 

Tips for cleaning corduroy : 

  • Hand-cleaning recommended: Corduroy doesn't take well to machine washing. Instead, use a soft sponge or cloth slightly dampened with warm water and a little mild soap to clean surface stains. Rub gently along the edges of the velvet to avoid damaging it. 
  • Avoid abrasive products: Don't use harsh detergents or hard brushes, as they could damage the velvet's delicate fibers. 
  • Air-dry: Don't put your corduroy fanny pack in a tumble-dryer, preferring to let it air-dry flat to avoid deforming the material. 
  • Gentle brushing to revive velvet: If velvet loses some of its texture or flattens, use a soft brush or clothes brush to restore its original appearance. Brush gently in the direction of the ribs. 

By following these simple steps, your corduroy fanny pack will retain its charm and elegance over the long term. 

Care for the coated cotton fanny pack: Practical and easy to clean

Coated cotton is a highly prized material for its strength and waterproof qualities. Thanks to its special coating, it's much easier to care for than other fabrics. Papa Pique and Maman Coud's coated cotton banana bags are perfect for everyday use, because they're as stylish as they are practical. 

Tips for cleaning coated cotton: 

  • Easy cleaning with a cloth: Coated cotton is very easy to care for on a daily basis. In the event of stains, simply use a damp cloth or sponge with a little soapy water to remove them. The coated fabric allows liquids to slide off, preventing them from sticking. 
  • Machine-washable: Coated cotton is hard-wearing, so we recommend machine-washing to remove stubborn stains. 
  • Quick drying: After cleaning your coated cotton fanny pack, let it air dry. As the material doesn't retain moisture, it dries very quickly. 
  • Avoid ironing: There's no need to iron your coated cotton bag, as the waterproof coating may melt on contact with heat. What's more, the material is virtually wrinkle-free. 

With these care tips, your coated cotton fanny pack will remain impeccable and stand up to the hazards of everyday life. 

General tips for extending the life of your fanny pack

Whatever the fabric of your fanny pack, here are a few additional tips to maximize its lifespan: 
  • Avoid overloading: Although fanny packs are designed to carry your small essentials, avoiding overloading helps preserve the bag's shape and seams. 
  • Protect it from direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure to UV rays can fade colors, whether corduroy or coated cotton. Try to store it out of direct sunlight when not in use. 
  • Store it properly: If you're not using your bag for a long time, stuff it lightly with tissue paper to keep its shape, and store it in a cloth bag to protect it from dust. 
  • Waterproof uncoated fabric parts: If parts of your bag are made of uncoated fabric (such as inserts or linings), you can apply a suitable waterproofing spray to protect them from stains and moisture. 

Taking good care of your Papa Pique et Maman Coud fanny pack is essential to guaranteeing its longevity and maintaining its impeccable appearance. Whether you've chosen a soft, elegant corduroy bag, or a practical, hard-wearing coated cotton one, these tips will help you keep it in perfect condition. With a little care, your fanny pack will always be ready to accompany you in style and practicality, season after season.
