Caring for Your Cin Cin Berlin Bag A guide to keeping your story in shape.
Cin Cin bags are not just accessories — they’re handcrafted pieces of wearable art. Each one is slow-made by skilled artisans using intricate beadwork and high-quality materials. With just a little extra care, your bag will stay bold, beautiful, and long-lasting.
Here’s how to give it the love it deserves:
🎨 Understanding the Craft
Every Cin Cin bag is made by hand — bead by bead — using glass, acrylic, and occasionally metallic accents. We use metal wirework techniques to string and connect beads, creating a durable yet flexible structure. This process takes time, precision, and deep skill — and ensures your bag is not only beautiful, but built to last.
No two bags are exactly alike, and that’s what makes them special.
🧼 Cleaning Tips
Use a soft, dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth to gently wipe off dust or surface dirt.
For small stains, you can use a drop of mild detergent diluted in water — test on a discreet area first.
Never soak, scrub, or use alcohol-based cleaners — it can damage both fabric and beads.
💧 Avoid Water Damage
These bags don’t love rain. If it gets wet, blot gently and let it air dry naturally.
Avoid exposing your bag to excessive humidity, perfumes, or makeup spills.
📦 Storage Matters
Store your bag in the cotton dust bag it came in. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
To retain its shape, stuff it with clean fabric or soft paper before storing.
Avoid stacking or squeezing the bag under heavier items.
⚠ Handle with Intention
While the beadwork is crafted to last, it’s still delicate.
Avoid rough handling or rubbing the bag against rough surfaces like stone or denim.
Don’t overload — these aren’t meant for laptops or groceries. They’re statement pieces, not carry-alls.
💎 Maintaining the Shine
Beads may naturally lose a bit of shine over time — gently polish with a soft dry cloth to revive their glow.
Never use polish, alcohol, or any harsh chemical on the beads.
