About Fique Fiber:

Fique, also known as cabuya, is a natural fiber harvested from the leaves of the Furcraea plant, native to the Andean region of South America. The extraction process, called decortication, involves separating the fibers from the leaves, which are then cleaned and dried. This eco-friendly method yields strong, durable fibers ideal for crafting sustainable products.

Care information

• Everyday care — Gently shake out or use a soft brush to remove dust and surface debris.

• Spot clean only — For stains, use a dry or slightly damp cloth and blot gently. Avoid rubbing to protect the fibers.

• Keep it dry — Fique is a natural plant fiber and should not be exposed to excessive moisture. Do not machine wash or soak.

• Air dry naturally — If the bag becomes damp, allow it to dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct heat or sunlight for prolonged periods.

• Maintain shape — When not in use, store the bag in a cool, dry place. You can lightly stuff it with paper to help retain its shape.

• Natural variations — Each piece is handmade, and slight variations in texture, tone, and structure are part of its unique character.
