DeMellier The New York tote bag - Black

The bag is crafted from 100% premium cow leather, with both the exterior and the interior lining made from this durable and luxurious material.

No, the DeMellier New York Tote Bag is designed with fixed top handles for carrying by hand or on the crook of your arm. It does not include a detachable shoulder or cross-body strap.

For routine cleaning, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning or light stains, use a slightly damp cloth with a specialized leather cleaner for cow leather. Always test on an inconspicuous area first and allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.

While the bag is spacious, its suitability for a laptop depends on the specific dimensions of your device. Please measure the interior dimensions (Info needed: [actual interior dimensions]) against your laptop's size to ensure a proper fit. It's generally more suited for smaller tablets or notebooks due to its structured design.

The 'Black Grain' finish refers to the texture of the cow leather. It has a natural, slightly pebbled or textured appearance, which adds depth and character to the black color while also helping to mask minor imperfections or scratches over time.

The DeMellier New York Tote Bag is proudly made in Spain, known for its high standards in leather craftsmanship and manufacturing.

Ensure the bag is not overfilled, which can prevent the magnetic points from aligning correctly. Check for any small obstructions between the magnets. If the issue persists, try to gently reshape the top opening to ensure alignment. Avoid pulling on the bag excessively when the closure is engaged.

For light surface scratches, gently rub the area with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. For deeper scuffs, apply a small amount of leather conditioner or specialized leather cream to the affected area and buff gently with a clean cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Regular conditioning helps reduce the appearance of minor marks.

This can happen if the bag is consistently overfilled or stored improperly. When not in use, lightly stuff the bag with acid-free tissue paper or bubble wrap to help it retain its original structure. Always store it upright in its dust bag to prevent creasing or distortion.

For minor spills or dirt, carefully wipe the interior with a slightly damp cloth and a very small amount of mild, diluted soap (like saddle soap). Avoid saturating the lining. Allow it to air dry completely. For stubborn stains, professional leather cleaning may be required.
