How should I clean and care for the full-grain leather?
To care for the leather, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For minor marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals, excessive moisture, and direct sunlight. Store in the included dustbag when not in use.

Troubleshooting
The shoulder strap feels uncomfortable or keeps twisting.
Ensure the strap is fully untwisted before attaching it to the D-rings. Adjust the buckle to find a length that sits comfortably on your shoulder or across your body, distributing the weight evenly.
The zipper feels stiff or catches when opening/closing.
Gently rub a wax candle, a bar of soap, or a graphite pencil along the zipper teeth. This can lubricate the zipper and allow for smoother operation. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
Small scuffs or minor marks appear on the leather surface.
For light surface scuffs, gently buff the area with a clean, soft, dry cloth in a circular motion. For deeper marks, or if you're unsure, it's best to consult a professional leather care specialist.
The bag loses its shape when not in use.
When storing your bag, lightly stuff it with acid-free tissue paper or bubble wrap. This helps maintain its original structure and prevents creasing. Always store it in the provided dustbag.
Items inside the bag are hard to find due to its compact size.
Utilize the internal slip pocket and card slot for frequently accessed items like your phone or cards. Consider using small pouches or organizers within the main compartment to keep smaller items grouped and easily retrievable.

Care
Proper care will help maintain the beauty and longevity of your full-grain leather tote bag.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surfaces gently with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust and light dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth with plain water, then immediately dry with a clean cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or saddle soap, which can damage the leather finish.
- Moisture & Heat: Keep your bag away from prolonged direct sunlight, excessive heat sources, and moisture. If it gets wet, blot gently with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use artificial heat to dry.
- Storage: When not in use, store your tote bag in the provided branded dustbag to protect it from dust and scratches. Stuff the bag lightly with acid-free tissue paper to help maintain its shape.
- Avoid Overfilling: Do not overfill the bag, as this can strain the seams and distort its shape over time.
- Stain Prevention: Be mindful of transferring dyes from dark clothing onto light-colored leather, and vice-versa. Avoid contact with greasy substances, oils, or strong dyes.
