FAQs
Can this bag fit a 15-inch laptop?
The bag is optimized for slim-profile laptops up to 13-14 inches. A 15-inch laptop may not fit properly in the dedicated compartment.
Is the material water-resistant?
The leather is naturally resistant to light splashes, but it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain exposure to maintain the leather's longevity.
How do I clean the interior lining?
Gently wipe the interior with a damp, lint-free cloth and mild soap if necessary, then allow it to air dry completely with the bag open.
Does the strap detach?
No, the shoulder strap is permanently affixed to the bag to ensure maximum durability for daily commuting.
Is this bag suitable for travel?
It serves excellently as a personal carry-on item for business travel, provided you do not need to pack large quantities of clothing.
Troubleshooting
Strap length slips during use
Ensure the webbing is properly threaded through the adjustment buckle; if slippage persists, ensure the strap is not overloaded.
Leather surface appearing dull
Use a specialized leather cleaner followed by a conditioner to restore the natural luster of the Chantaco leather.
Difficulty closing the flap
Check to ensure internal items are not protruding above the main compartment line; reorganize items to create a flatter profile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your bag, adjust the strap to your preferred length while wearing it; the sliding buckle should hold firm under normal weight. This bag is compatible with most standard slim-profile laptops up to 13-14 inches depending on the device's bezel. For care, wipe the leather surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the leather becomes damp, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. Periodically apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent fading or cracking over time.
