Can you wash matt emmings bags?

Post by Nogbad »

I've heard a couple different times now that you shouldn't get emmings bags wet (the six panalers). Whats the answer on this? thanks.

I would assume that is do to washing it in warm water, but I didn't wash it so I don't know.

Nogbad, I was probably the one you heard that from, but it was only 'cause I heard it from someone else, who really had no idea what he was talking about and was most likely high at the time. Believe me washing Emmings bags is absolutely fine! I wash mine all the time to keep it from deteriorating.
I must warn you though, DO NOT squeeze the water out too hard the material doesn't look like its woven together as tightly as ultra-suede light, and I think that if squeezed too hard when wet it could really damage the bag. Mine has a tiny hole and, I think it's from washing it too roughly. Just be extra gentle :wink:
