Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for this product; simply place your stationery inside and use the zipper. Regarding care, because this is a natural, vegetable-tanned leather product, it may develop a unique patina over time. To maintain the leather's suppleness, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or moisture. If the exterior gets dirty, wipe it gently with a dry, soft cloth. To protect the suede-look lining, avoid storing leaky ink cartridges or sharp metal objects that might tear the fabric.
