Materials
Made with heavy-duty ProtectPaper® (reclaimed and reinforced paper fused to cotton). Padded and lined interior for protection.
Straps
Designed for everyday ease, Wren bags feature adjustable cotton straps and handles that offer comfort, strength, and versatility - whether worn over the shoulder, crossbody, or carried by hand.
Coating
Our ProtectPaper® is coated with nano liquid glass, making each piece water-resistant, dirt-resistant, and easy to wipe clean - all without changing the natural feel of the paper.
Secure Closure
Each Wren bag is designed with thoughtful, functional closures - from strong zips to press-stud fastenings. Practical, reliable, and considered.
MEET ProtectPaper®
ProtectPaper® is where Wren’s love for thoughtful design meets sustainable innovation. Made from reclaimed paper fused to cotton and protected with nano liquid glass, it’s strong, water-resistant, and softens over time — developing character with every adventure. It’s lightweight, long-lasting, and designed to age beautifully with every fold and touch.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Some marks can become part of the story of the piece. If a spot won’t lift, feel free to draw over it, write a note, or turn it into part of your design — customising is encouraged.
ProtectPaper® naturally resists dirt. If you pick up a small scuff, gently use a clean eraser. Avoid heavy rubbing.
Wipe dry as soon as possible. The protective coating helps resist water, but it's not designed for heavy rain or use as an umbrella.
If an oily spot appears, sprinkle a little bicarb overnight to absorb it. Brush off gently.
