Does it fit a 15-inch laptop?

How do I clean the backpack?
Spot clean only using a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not submerge in water or use a washing machine.
Are the straps adjustable?
Yes, the ergonomic shoulder straps feature adjustable sliders to fit different body types comfortably.
Is this bag suitable for travel?

Troubleshooting
Stiff zipper operation
Ensure the fabric lining is clear of the zipper track and apply a small amount of graphite or wax to the teeth.
Stains on fabric
Use a soft-bristle brush and a mixture of water and mild soap to gently spot clean the affected area.
Deformed shape
Stuff the backpack with dry towels or packing paper and let it sit for 24 hours to regain its original silhouette.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The backpack is ready to use straight out of the box with no assembly required. To maintain the material, spot clean the polyester fabric with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or using high-heat tumble dryers, as this can degrade the structure of the straps and the integrity of the fabric. If the bag gets wet, air dry it in a shaded, well-ventilated area to prevent mildew buildup.
