FAQs

What are the dimensions of the internal laptop sleeve?

The internal compartment and sleeve are designed to fit laptops and tablets up to 13 inches.

How should I clean the Visetos canvas material?

Wipe the Visetos canvas with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.

Can the studded side pockets hold a water bottle?

The studded side pockets are best suited for smaller items like a smartphone or wallet. A standard water bottle may not fit securely.

Is the backpack suitable for heavy rain?

While the Visetos canvas offers some protection, the nappa leather trim is not waterproof. It is best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What type of leather is used for the trim?

The trim is made from natural nappa leather, known for its soft texture and premium feel.

How do I adjust the shoulder straps for comfort?

Use the buckles located on each strap to slide the webbing up or down, adjusting the length until the backpack sits comfortably on your shoulders.

What is the hardware color on this backpack?

The hardware, including zippers and the logo plaque, is a dark cobalt color.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth, then move the zipper repeatedly.

Leather trim shows water spots

If the spots are fresh, allow them to dry naturally away from heat. For persistent marks, consult a professional leather cleaning service as DIY methods may cause damage.

Internal lining has minor marks

Use a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the affected area. Ensure the cloth is not oversaturated. Allow to air dry completely.

Shoulder strap adjustment is difficult

Check that the buckle mechanism is free of debris. Ensure the strap is not twisted. Adjust slowly and deliberately.
