Frequently Asked Questions

Can I leave my Pixie Purse Pillow inside my handbag?

Yes! In fact, we recommend it.

Keep your Pixie Purse Pillow inside your handbag whenever it’s being stored to help maintain its natural shape and structure. It’s also perfect for traveling, helping protect your bag while packed in a suitcase or carry-on.

Simply remove the pillow when you’re ready to use your handbag, then place it back inside when you’re finished.

How do I clean my Pixie Purse Pillow?

Your Pixie Purse Pillow can be gently hand washed if needed.

After washing, allow it to air dry completely before placing it back inside your handbag.

My pillow arrived looking a little flat. Is that normal?

Yes!

Because each Pixie Purse Pillow is soft and flexible, it may become slightly compressed during shipping or travel.

Simply let it rest for a little while, and it will naturally fluff back up to its original shape.

My pillow has wrinkles. How do I remove them?

If your pillow develops wrinkles from shipping or storage, they’re easy to remove.

Place a thin cotton cloth or fabric over the pillow and use a low-heat iron to gently smooth the fabric. You can also use a steamer, but we recommend keeping a thin cloth between the steam and the pillow for extra protection.

My pillow got dusty. How do I clean it?

No worries!

Most dust and lint can be removed simply by gently patting or tapping the pillow. The silky satin fabric naturally releases loose dust, making everyday care quick and easy.

Is it safe for luxury handbags?

Absolutely.

Pixie Purse Pillows are designed to be safe for all leather types, including:

  • Lambskin
  • Caviar Leather
  • Calfskin
  • Suede
  • Exotic Leathers

The ultra-soft satin exterior is gentle on delicate interiors while providing the support your handbag needs.

Can I use it in non-designer handbags?

Yes!

While Pixie Purse Pillows were created with luxury handbags in mind, they’re perfect for any handbag you’d like to help maintain its shape—from everyday favorites to treasured designer pieces.

Pixie’s Storage Tips

Store your handbag with the pillow inside.

Keeping your handbag properly supported while it’s not being used helps maintain its beautiful shape.

Use your dust bag.

Whenever possible, store your handbag inside its original dust bag to help protect it from dust and unnecessary exposure.

Keep handbags in a cool, dry place.

Avoid excessive heat, humidity, and direct sunlight whenever possible to help preserve your handbag’s leather and hardware.

Travel with confidence.

Pixie Purse Pillows are perfect for travel and help support your handbag while it’s packed in luggage or a carry-on.
