FAQs
Is this bag waterproof?
While leather is water-resistant to a degree, it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain and wipe dry immediately if it becomes exposed to moisture.
Can I carry a laptop in this tote?
Yes, the bag's spacious dimensions are typically sufficient for most standard-sized laptops, though we recommend using a protective sleeve for added security.
How do I clean the interior?
Gently shake out any debris and wipe the lining with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Allow it to air dry completely with the bag open.
Does the leather fade in the sun?
Yes, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the green dye to fade. Store the bag in a shaded area.
Are the straps adjustable?
The straps are designed for a comfortable over-the-shoulder carry and are fixed in length.
Is the leather ethically sourced?
Orla Kiely maintains strict standards for materials; the leather used is selected for quality and durability.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs on leather surface
Use a high-quality leather cream or balm to buff out light scuffs and restore the finish.
Stiff zipper movement
Rub a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth to improve smoothness.
Stains on the leather
Consult a professional leather cleaner immediately; avoid applying water or generic household cleaning agents which may cause permanent spotting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Smile Tote is ready for use immediately upon arrival. To maintain its pristine condition, wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the leather becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. It is advisable to use a leather-specific conditioner every few months to keep the material supple. Store the bag in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably inside a breathable dust bag, to prevent environmental damage or color fading from sunlight.
