FAQs
What is 'full-grain leather'?
Full-grain leather is the highest quality and most durable leather. It retains the natural grain of the hide, making each bag unique, and develops a rich patina over time rather than wearing out.
Is the pink color durable and fade-resistant?
While the full-grain leather is dyed to a vibrant Lipstick Pink, direct and prolonged exposure to strong sunlight can cause any colored leather to fade over time. Storing the bag in its dust bag and avoiding excessive sun exposure will help maintain its color.
Can I carry a laptop in this bag?
The bag's dimensions are L34 x H27 x D15 CM. It can accommodate smaller laptops or tablets. We recommend measuring your device to ensure it fits comfortably within these dimensions and allows the top zip to close securely.
How do I clean the silver-tone hardware?
Gently wipe the silver-tone hardware with a soft, dry jeweler's cloth or a microfibre cloth to remove fingerprints and smudges. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the finish.
Is the shoulder strap adjustable and removable?
Yes, the shoulder strap is both adjustable to customize the drop length for comfort and completely detachable, allowing you to carry the bag by the top handles for a different look.
Does the bag stand on its own?
Due to its structured full-grain leather construction, the bag generally maintains its shape and can stand upright when placed on a flat surface, especially when it contains some items.
What is the purpose of the included dust bag?
The dust bag is designed to protect your bag from dust, scratches, and sunlight when it's not being used. It helps preserve the leather and overall condition of the bag for years to come.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or dull
Apply a small amount of high-quality leather conditioner using a soft cloth. Gently buff the surface to restore moisture and shine. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Minor scratches on the leather surface
For light scratches, gently rub the area with a clean finger or a soft, damp cloth to help blend the oils. For deeper scratches, consult a professional leather specialist for advice.
Zippers are sticking or difficult to open/close
Rub a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant along the zipper teeth. Operate the zipper a few times to distribute the lubricant evenly and restore smooth movement.
Shoulder strap frequently slips off the shoulder
Adjust the strap to a shorter length to allow the bag to sit higher and more securely on your body. Ensure the strap's material has adequate grip against your clothing.
Bag loses its structured shape when stored
To maintain the bag's silhouette, lightly stuff it with acid-free tissue paper or bubble wrap when not in use. Store it upright in its dust bag in a cool, dry place.

Care
To ensure the longevity and beauty of your full-grain leather tote, follow these care instructions:
- Storage: Always store your bag in the included dust bag when not in use. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a leather-specific cleaner and conditioner, following the product's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection: Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight, rain, and extreme temperatures. If the bag gets wet, blot it gently with a dry, soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
- Stain Prevention: Be mindful of transferring dyes from dark clothing onto the light-colored leather. Avoid contact with oily substances, inks, and cosmetics.
- Hardware: Occasionally wipe the silver-tone hardware with a soft, dry cloth to maintain its shine.
