Note:

These are sublimated on premium polyester fabric, resulting in a design that’s part of the material—no cracking, no peeling. Sublimation on blended fabric like the tote may result in a slightly faded, vintage look after washing.  As part of the sublimation process, and because this is a handmade item, some minor variations may occur.
