Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging or pulling
Handle with care, avoid sharp objects, and gently trim any pulled threads with small scissors. Do not pull further.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close
Gently apply a small amount of lubricant, such as a graphite pencil tip or wax, to the zipper teeth. Move the zipper up and down slowly.
Boucle texture becoming flattened
