Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.

Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper back and forth until it moves smoothly.

Leather has minor scuffs or scratches.

For light scuffs, try gently rubbing the area with your finger to warm and blend the leather. For deeper scratches, use a leather conditioner or balm specifically designed for cowhide, following product instructions.

Bag shape appears distorted.

Ensure the bag is packed appropriately, not overstuffed. Stuff the bag with tissue paper or a soft cloth when storing to help it maintain its intended shape.

Color transfer from leather to clothing.

This can occur with new or dark-colored leather. Ensure the leather is properly conditioned and allow it to air out. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored or damp fabrics.
