  2. Receive a prepaid USPS shipping label within 24 hours

  3. Clean your bag (see steps below)

  4. Send it in—we’ll take care of the rest and return it to you within 3 weeks


🧼 Before You Ship:

  • Empty all pockets

  • Pull the lining out and vacuum the base

  • Machine wash gentlycold water, hang dry only

If your bag arrives unwashed, we’ll either return it at your expense or charge a $50 Spa Treatment fee before proceeding.

Great products and service!

I LOVE my non-leather bags! No one believes that they are not leather! And they last beautifully, and when the zipper broke on one (after several years), the repairs made my bag look like new!

looking forward to using my favorite purse again!

I discovered your designs years ago when you were on Etsy. Your purse was my first "grown up" purse and it's been my go-to accessory ever since...right up until the moment the zipper broke while my friend and I explored London. Every place I went to said it wasn't worth repairing the zipper, but they don't know how much I love this purse. I was relieved to discover that you're able to replace zippers. I'm looking forward to using my favorite purse again.

Again and again...

I just adore the medium Hobo bag as a busy working mom because of its versatility and style. The fabric still looks brand new even though I have used it daily for a few years now. So, of course, this being the 2nd bag, I had to repair the zipper and it works like a charm! She even included a bonus earbud organizer which is so cute and useful. I will definitely continue to buy CK products and tell anyone I can about the products and company. Thank you for making a product that is super cute and durable!
