Troubleshooting

Zipper feels stiff or is sticking when opening/closing

Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (such as zipper wax or rub a graphite pencil along the teeth) to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth a few times to distribute the lubricant. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism.

Small scratches or scuffs appear on the leather surface

Minor scratches can often be buffed out gently with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For deeper scratches or more noticeable scuffs, consult a professional leather repair specialist or use a leather scratch repair product specifically designed for the leather type. Always test any product on an inconspicuous area first.

Bag feels uncomfortable or digs into the shoulder when worn crossbody

Adjust the strap length until the bag sits comfortably at your hip or waist level. Ensure the weight distribution inside the bag is even, avoiding heavy items concentrated in one spot. Avoid over-stuffing the bag, as this can make it heavier and less comfortable.

Leather appears dull, dry, or slightly discolored

Clean the bag as described in the care section. Once dry, apply a quality leather conditioner following the product's instructions to moisturize and restore the leather's natural luster. This can also help in evening out minor discolorations caused by drying.

Care

  • Protection: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, excessive moisture, or extreme temperatures, which can cause the leather to fade, dry out, or crack. If the bag gets wet, blot it gently with a dry cloth and allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources.
  • Conditioning: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, supple, and to prevent drying or cracking. Follow the product instructions for application.
  • Storage: When not in use, store your bag in a dust bag or a soft cloth bag in a cool, dry place to protect it from dust, scratches, and maintain its shape. Avoid hanging it by the strap for long periods, which could deform the leather.
