FAQs
Can this bag hold a 15-inch laptop?
The bag measures 40 x 30cm, which may be tight for a 15-inch laptop. It is best suited for tablets or 13-inch laptops with a protective sleeve.
Is the material waterproof?
The bag is made from polyester, which provides some resistance to light rain, but it is not considered fully waterproof or submersible.
How do I customize the bag?
The bag supports both embroidery and screen printing, with a maximum print area of 32 x 18cm.
Is the shoulder strap removable?
No, the webbing shoulder strap is permanently attached to the bag construction.
What is the weight of the empty bag?
The bag weighs approximately 500g, making it very lightweight for daily use.
Does it have a water bottle holder?
There is no dedicated exterior water bottle pocket; bottles must be stored inside the main compartment.
Troubleshooting
Strap adjustment slipping
Ensure the webbing is properly threaded through the slide buckle. If it continues to slip, ensure no debris is stuck in the locking mechanism.
Zipper sticking on the mesh pocket
Gently check for fabric caught in the teeth. Applying a small amount of graphite or a specialist zipper lubricant can help restore smooth operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your messenger bag lasts, follow these guidelines. Setup is straightforward: adjust the webbing strap to your preferred length before loading the bag to ensure the weight distribution sits comfortably against your hip. Regarding compatibility, the 40 x 30cm dimensions are suitable for most tablets and thin sub-notebooks; however, ensure you use a dedicated protective sleeve since the bag lacks integrated device padding. For care, clean the polyester material using a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing or tumble drying to maintain the integrity of the fabric and the structural shape of the bag. Always allow it to air dry completely if it becomes wet.
