Troubleshooting

Shoulder strap feels uncomfortable or too long/short

Adjust the length of the shoulder strap using the buckle. Ensure even weight distribution for optimal comfort. If detached, re-attach it securely to the D-rings on the bag.

Trolley sleeve does not fit over luggage handle

Verify that your luggage handle is a standard size. The sleeve is designed for most common extendable luggage handles. If it's a particularly wide or non-standard handle, it might not fit perfectly. Ensure the tote is positioned correctly over the handle.

Bag appears creased or wrinkled from storage

Due to its soft polyester material, minor creases can occur. Fill the bag loosely with soft items (like clothes or towels) for a few hours, or gently steam (from a distance) to help relax the fabric. Do not iron directly.

Zippers feel stiff or are sticking

Gently rub a graphite pencil or a small amount of zipper lubricant along the teeth of the zipper. Open and close the zipper a few times to distribute the lubricant.

Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Kipling ART M Large Tote, follow these care instructions:

  • Spot Cleaning: For minor spills or marks, gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth using mild soap (e.g., dish soap) and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Air Dry: After cleaning, allow the bag to air dry completely. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or expose to direct heat.
  • Stubborn Stains: For more stubborn stains, a soft brush can be used with the mild soap solution, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or harsh detergents, as they can damage the fabric and color.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.
