Keeping Your Garment Bag in Top Shape
A garment bag is an investment in arriving polished, whether for a wedding, a work trip, or a weekend away. The Away Garment Bag is designed to minimize wrinkles and make packing formalwear simple. With a little routine care, you can keep it looking good and functioning well for years.
Here are practical tips for storing, cleaning, and using your garment bag so it stays ready for your next trip.
Where and How to Store It
When not in use, store your garment bag hanging in a closet or on a sturdy hook. This keeps its shape and prevents creases from forming in the fabric. Avoid folding it tightly or stuffing it into a drawer, which can cause permanent wrinkles or damage to the zippers.
If you need to store it flat (for example, under a bed), lay it out smoothly without heavy items on top. The bag's slim profile makes it easy to tuck away without taking up too much space.
What the Garment Bag Offers
- Garment Bag in: The Garment Bag fits up to two suits or three full-length dresses or jumpsuits. Inside, you'll find dedicated pockets for shoes, ties, belts, and accessories, plus a hook that zips out to hang over a door or in a closet. Knowing the capacity and built-in organization helps you plan what to pack and how to use the bag's features to keep everything neat.

Cleaning Basics
The supplied information does not include specific cleaning instructions for the Garment Bag. For general care, spot-clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid machine washing or soaking, as this could damage the lining or hardware.
If you encounter a stain that doesn't lift easily, check the care label inside the bag or contact the manufacturer for guidance. Regular light cleaning after trips will prevent dirt from building up.
Packing to Minimize Wrinkles
The Garment Bag is designed to keep suits, dresses, and formalwear crisp. To get the best results, hang garments on the included hanger hooks and smooth out any folds before zipping up. Use the dedicated pockets for shoes and accessories to keep them from pressing against your clothes.
For longer trips, consider adding a few tissue paper layers between garments to reduce friction. The bag's carry-on friendly size means you can keep it with you on the plane, reducing the chance of items being crushed.
When to Replace or Repair
With regular care, a garment bag should last many years. If you notice a broken zipper, torn lining, or damaged hook, check if the issue can be repaired locally. The supplied information does not cover warranty or repair options, so contact Away customer service for specific guidance.
If the bag no longer holds its shape or the fabric is worn through, it may be time to consider a replacement. A well-maintained bag, however, often outlasts many trips.
