I also scotch guarded my bow tucks purse but I do not sew down the bottom piece so that it can be removed if I decide to wash the purse. I cover it with the simple pillow case covering and then place it in the purse. :-)

Thanks!

I've made a lot of handbags and I would never toss them in the washer and dryer.... I hand wash and air dry after I've made sure the shape is back to where I like it. I've also used Scotchguard on bags that are made of very light fabric and I'm worried about stains.

I just washed mine, I did it on the gentle cycle and dried it in the dryer, it came out beautifully.

I have seveal fab purses and wash them all the time. I regard them as clothing. They always come out looking like new. HOWEVER>>>>I always prewash fab so no need to worry about shrinking or fab colors running.
