Troubleshooting

Zipper feels stiff or sticky

Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant, wax, or even a graphite pencil to the zipper teeth. Carefully work the zipper back and forth to distribute the lubricant.

Leather appears dull or has minor scuffs

Bag has an unpleasant odor

Empty the bag completely and place an open container of baking soda inside for a few days to absorb odors. You can also place the bag in a well-ventilated area for a few hours.

Strap slips or doesn't stay adjusted

Ensure the buckle or adjuster mechanism is correctly threaded and tightened. If the strap material itself is very smooth, it might require occasional readjustment. Info needed: type of strap adjuster.

Care

To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your leather Kipling Sebastian Crossbody, follow these care instructions:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and light dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the leather.
  • Conditioning: Periodically apply a high-quality leather conditioner, following the product's instructions. This helps to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the bag in a dust bag or a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Stuff the bag with tissue paper to help maintain its shape.
  • Avoid Moisture: While leather offers some natural water resistance, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or soaking the bag. If it gets wet, gently blot dry with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally.
