FAQs

What kind of leather is the bag made from?

The bag is crafted from premium grained leather, known for its textured surface, durability, and resistance to minor scratches.

Is the shoulder strap adjustable and removable?

Yes, the bag features a removable and adjustable leather shoulder strap, allowing you to customize the carrying length or remove it entirely to carry by the top handles.

How do I clean the blue leather?

For general cleaning, wipe the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning or conditioning, use a leather cleaner or conditioner specifically designed for grained leather, following the product's instructions.

What can I typically fit inside this 'Small Tote'?

As a small tote, it's designed for essentials. You can typically fit a standard smartphone, a compact wallet, keys, a small cosmetic bag, and perhaps a pair of sunglasses or a compact e-reader. It will not accommodate large laptops or bulky items.

How should I store the bag when not using it?

Store the bag in its original dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. To help maintain its shape, you can lightly stuff it with acid-free tissue paper.

Is the bag water resistant?

While premium leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, the bag is not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submerging it in water to prevent damage. A leather protectant spray can offer additional, but not absolute, protection.

Troubleshooting

Zipper feels stiff or sticky

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

Leather appears dry or dull

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner formulated for grained leather. Follow the product's instructions, usually by applying a small amount with a soft cloth and buffing gently.

Shoulder strap becomes unclipped

Ensure both strap clips are fully engaged with the D-rings on the bag. Check that the D-rings are not bent or damaged. If they are, professional repair may be needed.

Bag loses its shape when not in use

Store the bag stuffed lightly with acid-free tissue paper or bubble wrap to help maintain its original structure. Avoid hanging the bag by its handles for extended periods.

Care

  • Storage: When not in use, store the bag in its original dust bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Stuff the bag lightly with tissue paper or bubble wrap to help maintain its shape.
  • Protection: Avoid overfilling the bag, as this can distort its shape and put stress on the zippers and seams. Protect the bag from excessive moisture, oil, ink, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat.
  • Handle with Care: Be mindful of rough surfaces or sharp objects that could scratch or damage the leather.
