Product Information
Full details
The Orla Kiely Ratio Small Hobo Bag is designed for adults who prioritize a blend of organized utility and minimalist style for daily carry. Its key benefit lies in the lightweight, structured polyester construction that balances durability with a compact footprint, making it an excellent choice for commuting or weekend errands. However, potential users should note that as a 'small' silhouette, it is better suited for daily essentials like a wallet, phone, and keys rather than carrying bulkier items like tablets or large water bottles.

FAQs
Is the Orla Kiely Ratio Small Hobo Bag machine washable?
No, it is recommended to spot clean the polyester fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap to preserve the structural integrity.
Can I fit a large tablet inside?
This bag is designed for smaller everyday items. A standard tablet will likely not fit comfortably.
How long is the strap?
The strap is fully adjustable, allowing for both shoulder and crossbody wear depending on your height and preference.
Does it have a secure closure?
Yes, it features a quality zipper closure for the main compartment to keep your belongings secure.
Is the material waterproof?
The polyester material offers some resistance to light moisture, but it is not considered fully waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently rub a graphite pencil lead along the teeth to act as a lubricant.
Bag loses its shape
Stuff the empty bag with tissue paper or bubble wrap overnight to help the polyester regain its original structure.
Strap adjustment slips
Check that the strap is threaded correctly through the buckle hardware; if it continues to slip, ensure the fabric is not worn down at the friction point.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your bag, simply adjust the strap to your preferred length using the side buckle. For shoulder carry, a shorter drop is often more comfortable, while cross-body carry benefits from a longer setting. Regarding care, the polyester material is resilient but should be handled with care to maintain its finish. If the bag becomes soiled, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to spot-clean the affected area. Avoid submerging the bag in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this may damage the internal structure or the hardware finish. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent color fading.
