Troubleshooting
Laptop does not fit in the padded sleeve.
Ensure your laptop is 16 inches or smaller. Overly thick laptops or those with bulky cases might exceed the sleeve's capacity. Remove any large accessories before attempting to fit it.
Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck.
Rub a pencil lead or apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., beeswax or a specialized zipper wax) along the teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth. Avoid forcing it.
Front straps for yoga mat feel too loose or too tight.
The straps are adjustable. Unbuckle or unfasten them and adjust the length to securely fit your yoga mat or blanket. Ensure they are tightened enough to prevent items from shifting, but not so tight as to damage the bag or item.
Bag feels unbalanced when placed on luggage trolley.
Ensure the trolley sleeve is fully engaged over the luggage handle. Distribute the weight evenly inside your tote, placing heavier items closer to the bottom to improve stability.
Bag has an odor.
If a new bag has a mild manufacturing odor, air it out in a well-ventilated area for a day or two. For other odors, gently wipe the interior with a damp cloth containing a mild fabric refresher or baking soda solution, then air dry thoroughly.
