Hi Juan ...
I've been tod that it's OK to just drop it in the machine. However, I saw
a black one that had been laundered and it looked pretty bad, frayed edges,
really washed out color (as opposed to natural fading). I've never washed
mine, and I'm not sure that I will unless something awful happens to it.
I used to have a Tamrac convertible (fanny pack) camera bag that
suffered a shoulder strap buckle failure as I was washing my hands in an
airplane's restroom. The result of the buckle failure was that the darn
thing fell into the toilet. That qualified as "something awful happened
to it." ...but I couldn't bring myself to use it again after that.
With a broken buckle, frayed seam, and koodies from the toilet, I
decided that bag had given all it needed to give, and I retired it to
the trash bin at earliest opportunity.
