Troubleshooting

Shoulder strap keeps slipping

Ensure the buckle is firmly adjusted. For better stability, wear the bag in a crossbody style which distributes weight more evenly and reduces slipping.

Zipper feels stiff or sticky

Gently rub a graphite pencil or a wax candle along the zipper teeth. Then, slowly work the zipper back and forth to distribute the lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Bag feels too heavy when full
