Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a quality leather conditioner following the product's instructions. Ensure the conditioner is suitable for full-grain leather.

Scratches on the leather surface

Minor scratches can often be buffed out with a soft cloth or by gently rubbing with your finger to warm and redistribute the leather's oils. For deeper scratches, a leather repair balm or professional service may be required.

Zipper is sticking

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Avoid excessive force.

Shoulder strap hardware feels loose

Check that the clips are fully engaged with the D-rings. If the issue persists, contact customer support for potential replacement parts.

  • Laptops: Accommodates laptops up to 15 inches.
  • Documents: Fits standard A4 documents and folders.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the beauty and longevity of the full-grain leather:

  1. Condition Regularly: Apply a quality leather conditioner every 3-6 months, or as needed, to prevent the leather from drying out.
  2. Clean Spills Immediately: Wipe away spills with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher spots, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally.
  3. Avoid Excessive Moisture: Do not soak the leather. If it gets wet, blot it dry and let it air dry away from direct heat.
  4. Storage: When not in use, store in a cool, dry place, preferably in its dust bag to protect from dust and scratches. Avoid storing in plastic as leather needs to breathe.
