Can I wear this bag crossbody?

How should I clean the leather parts of the bag?
For the leather components, it is recommended to use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
Does the bag come with a dust cover?
Yes, a dust cover is included with the bag for protection during storage.

Is the shoulder strap padded?

Will A4 documents fit flat inside?
Yes, the main compartment is designed to hold A4-size documents, folders, and notepads, allowing them to be stored flat.
Troubleshooting
Bag does not stand upright
Ensure the bag is loaded evenly, with heavier items placed towards the bottom and center. The flat base is designed for stability, but significant weight imbalance can affect its posture.
Strap adjustment is difficult
Ensure the polyester strap is not twisted. If the buckle is stiff, try gently flexing it or using a silicone-based lubricant designed for fabric and plastic components.
Leather parts appear dry or scuffed
Apply a small amount of a good quality leather conditioner specifically designed for the type of leather used. For scuffs, gently buff with a soft cloth after conditioning.
Zipper is stiff or catching
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a zipper lubricant directly to the teeth to ease movement.
