Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the fabric machine washable?

It is recommended to hand-wash the bag to ensure the longevity of the pleating, although a very gentle, short cycle in a laundry bag may be used at your own discretion.

Can this bag hold a laptop?

While the bag is durable, it is designed for lighter, daily items and is not recommended for heavy electronics that could distort the shape of the pleats.

Does the bag stay on the shoulder well?

Yes, the elongated handles are specifically designed to provide enough drop for the bag to stay securely on the shoulder while walking.

Will the material stretch out over time?

The iconic pleats are designed to be flexible and resilient, though excessive overfilling should be avoided to keep the bag in its original condition.

Is the drawstring closure secure?

The drawstring closure is designed for everyday security; ensure the cord is pulled firmly to keep the contents of the main compartment inside.

Does the bag come with a dust bag?

Most purchases include a standard manufacturer dust bag; store the item inside this when not in use to prevent dust accumulation.

Troubleshooting

The pleats are losing their sharpness.

Avoid storing heavy objects inside the bag for long periods and ensure it is not stored in a crushed position.

Fabric snagged on a sharp edge.

Gently smooth the fabric around the snag. Avoid pulling the threads, as this may exacerbate the tear or distort the pleating.

Surface dirt or dust accumulation.

Lightly brush the surface with a soft lint roller or wipe gently with a damp, microfiber cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the Pleats Please Issey Miyake bag arrives pre-formed, no setup is required—it is ready for use immediately out of the box. Compatibility-wise, the neutral black aesthetic makes it a highly versatile accessory that pairs well with both monochromatic palettes and vibrant prints. To maintain the integrity of the pleats, avoid storing the bag under heavy items that could crush the fabric structure permanently. If the bag requires cleaning, it is recommended to hand-wash in cold water with a gentle detergent. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or bleaching agents. Lay the bag flat to dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the fabric's original intensity and shape.
