Can the shoulder strap be removed?

What are the exact dimensions of the bag?
The dimensions are Width 53 cm x Height 35 cm x Depth 26 cm.
Is the bag suitable for use as carry-on luggage?
The dimensions are W53 x H35 x D26 cm. While generous, it's important to verify these measurements against the specific carry-on size restrictions of your airline, as they can vary.
How should I maintain the leather finish?

Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth to loosen it.
Leather shows minor scuffs or scratches
For light scuffs, gently rub the area with your finger or a soft cloth; the natural oils in the leather may help to diminish the mark. For deeper scratches, a leather conditioner or cream specifically designed for the color of the bag might help to blend them in.
Bag shape is lost during storage
Stuff the bag with tissue paper, old t-shirts, or bubble wrap to help it retain its original shape. Store in a place where it won't be crushed by heavier items.
Strap hardware feels loose
Check the buckles and clasps for any visible damage. Ensure all connections are securely fastened. If the issue persists, consult a leather goods repair specialist.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, dry cloth. For minor dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Conditioning: To maintain the leather's suppleness and prevent drying, use a quality leather conditioner periodically. Apply sparingly according to the product's instructions.
- Storage: When not in use, store the bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Stuff it with paper to help maintain its shape and prevent creasing. Consider using a dust bag for protection.
- Water Resistance: While cowhide offers some natural protection, avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If the bag gets wet, pat it dry immediately with a soft cloth and let it air dry.
