Frequently Asked Questions

About Our Bags

What makes ariesbags unique?
Each bag is one-of-a-kind, handcrafted in North Carolina from repurposed denim, corduroy, new quilt cotton, new vinyl, new waterproof or water resistant canvas and new nylon. I often make only one of each type or material and do not focus on mass-producing bags in one style or color, keeping the creative process going! No two bags are exactly alike.

Are your bags sustainable?
A lot of our bags made from repurposed denim, corduroy and cotton canvas which are sustainable. The hardware and most webbing used on bags are all new, ensuring your bags are built to last.

Materials

Where does ariesbags source its materials from?

New materials are sourced from reputable, family owned and local shops in the US. The sustainable materials (denim and some corduroy) are sourced from thrift shops, friends and family. All repurposed denim and corduroy are washed at least once before processing to remove accumulated dirt and grime.

Care & Maintenance

How do I care for my bag?
Spot clean with a damp cloth. For vinyl bags, wipe clean with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing, unless the bag details state you can wash the bag.

Are the bags waterproof?
Many of our bags feature water-resistant linings and vinyl materials to protect your belongings. Bags cannot be submersed into water unless bag details state otherwise.
