The bags I bought this year are a different shade than the ones I bought last year. Why?

Fabric for our bags is produced in dye lots. All bags produced from the same dye lot will be exactly the same color, but bags from different dye lots (different years) sometimes appear slightly lighter or darker. Colors you see on the website are usually accurate, but contact us for a fabric swatch if the shade is really important.

How do I submit artwork for my custom bag order?

We prefer camera-ready artwork, submitted my e-mail or fax.  Consult the Customize page for specific instructions on how to submit artwork.  If you need custom art work produced for you, there is a charge of $25/hour for art or logo design.

How should I clean my Flying Circle bag?

Dry clean or wash your bag in cold water. Air dry. Caution: washing in water weakens the water-resistant polyurethane finish on most bags.
