When your handbag arrives, prior to wearing it; you should remove it from

tissue and box and the flowers will expand again into their full shape. You may
steam your flowers as well with a hand steamer. After wearing your handbag you
can store it in the giftbox or you can enjoy it as a collectible in a display
