Troubleshooting

Leather shows minor scuffs or scratches

Gently buff the affected area with a soft, clean cloth. For deeper scratches, consult a professional leather care specialist.

Lace-up detail appears loose

Carefully re-tie or adjust the lacing by hand. Avoid pulling too tightly to prevent straining the leather.

Ensure the bag is properly stuffed with tissue paper when stored. The rigid base helps maintain shape when in use.
