FAQs
What are the dimensions of the bag?
The product information does not specify exact dimensions, but it is designed to fit a 15-inch laptop. For precise measurements, please refer to the product's official specifications or contact customer support.
Is the blue color prone to fading?
High-quality grain leather is generally colorfast. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading over time. Storing the bag in its dust bag when not in use will help preserve the color.
Can I fit a 15-inch laptop inside?
Yes, the bag is designed to accommodate laptops up to 15 inches. We recommend checking the internal dimensions against your specific laptop for optimal fit.
How do I clean the interior lining?
The interior lining can typically be cleaned by gently wiping it with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, a mild detergent diluted with water can be used, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
Does the bag come with a shoulder strap?
This model features twin grab handles and is designed to be carried by hand or on the forearm. A shoulder strap is not typically included with this specific tote bag design.
What type of leather is used?
The bag is crafted from durable grain leather, known for its texture and resilience.
Is the bag suitable for heavy rain?
While the grain leather is durable, it is not waterproof. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If the bag gets wet, dry it immediately with a soft cloth and let it air dry.
Troubleshooting
Bag feels stiff upon arrival
This is normal for new grain leather. Use the bag regularly, and it will soften with wear. You can also apply a small amount of leather conditioner.
Scuff marks on the leather
For minor scuff marks, try gently buffing the area with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper marks, a leather repair balm or professional cleaning may be necessary.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the zipper back and forth. You can also try applying a small amount of wax (like a candle or crayon) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Interior lining has a stain
For minor stains on the fabric lining, try spot cleaning with a mild soap and water solution, dabbing gently with a cloth. Avoid oversaturating the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: To clean the grain leather, use a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the leather finish.
- Storage: When not in use, store the bag in the provided dust bag to protect it from dust, scratches, and direct sunlight. This helps maintain its shape and color.
- Conditioning: Periodically, consider using a leather conditioner specifically designed for grain leather to keep it supple and prevent drying or cracking.
