FAQs

Does this purse fit a smartphone?

While the purse is spacious at 19cm, it is primarily designed for cards and cash; most modern smartphones will not fit comfortably inside without stressing the zipper.

Is the RFID protection permanent?

Yes, the RFID-safe material is integrated into the lining of the purse and does not lose its effectiveness over time.

Can I use leather cleaner on this?

Yes, but ensure you use a cleaner specifically formulated for luxury leather and always perform a patch test on a hidden area first.

How many card slots are there exactly?

The purse features 14 individual slots designed to hold one card each securely.

Is the coin purse section secure?

Yes, the mid-section coin purse has its own dedicated zip, ensuring coins do not fall into the main compartments.

Troubleshooting

Card slots feel too tight

This is normal for new leather. Gently insert your cards and let them sit for 24 hours to help the leather stretch to the correct shape.

The main zipper feels stiff

Rub a small amount of beeswax or a graphite pencil lead along the zipper teeth to lubricate them and ensure smooth operation.

Surface scuffs appearing on leather

Use a soft, dry cloth to buff the area. Often, the natural oils in the leather will help minor surface scratches disappear with gentle rubbing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive storage with 14 dedicated card slots
  • Enhanced security with built-in RFID protection
  • Durable and stylish genuine leather construction
  • Secure full zip-around closure
  • Dedicated mid-section for coins

Cons

  • Larger profile may be bulky for small handbags
  • Requires a break-in period for the leather to soften
  • Zipper takes up perimeter space, slightly limiting edge-to-edge storage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your leather purse in peak condition, avoid overstuffing the card slots during the first week of use, as this allows the material to adapt to the cards naturally. If the leather gets wet, pat it dry immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth and let it air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking. Since the purse features an RFID-safe lining, ensure the zip-around closure is fully closed to ensure the protective field is active. For routine maintenance, use a high-quality leather conditioner once every six months to keep the material supple and prevent fading.
