How do I adjust the strap length?
The canvas strap features an adjustable buckle or slide mechanism. Simply slide the buckle along the strap to shorten or lengthen it until you find your desired comfortable fit for crossbody or shoulder carry.
What is the purpose of the tassel?
The tassel is a decorative element designed to add a stylish and unique flair to the bag, enhancing its overall aesthetic. It is primarily for fashion and style.
What is the recommended cleaning method for the bag?
For general cleaning, spot clean with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used, but always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals and ensure the bag air dries completely.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or is difficult to close/open.
Gently rub a graphite pencil (lead) or a small amount of zipper lubricant along the zipper teeth. Move the zipper back and forth a few times to distribute the lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Bag appears dirty or has a minor stain on the fabric.
Spot clean the affected area with a soft cloth dampened with cool water and a small drop of mild soap. Blot gently until clean, then wipe with a clean, damp cloth to remove soap residue. Allow to air dry completely.
The canvas strap feels uncomfortable or is at an awkward length.
Adjust the canvas strap's length using its buckle or slide mechanism. Experiment with different lengths to find the most comfortable position for either crossbody or shoulder wear that suits your body and preference.
Tassel appears flattened or out of shape.
Gently finger-comb the tassel strands to reshape them. If needed, a slightly damp cloth can be used to re-mold the strands, followed by air drying while hanging to allow it to fall naturally.
