Troubleshooting
Strap detachment
Ensure the clasp of the detachable shoulder strap is fully engaged with the D-ring. If the clasp seems damaged, contact customer support.
Zipper snagging
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Applying a small amount of clear wax or lip balm to the zipper teeth can help smooth its movement. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Bag losing shape
Ensure the bag is not overstuffed. Maintain its shape by placing delicate items in a way that supports the structure. Store it upright when not in use.
Scuff marks on polyester
Light scuff marks can often be removed with a damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, try a mild soap solution on a soft cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.
