FAQs
Is this rucksack water-resistant?
Leather is naturally water-resistant to a degree, but it is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a leather-specific waterproofing spray if you live in a rainy climate.
Does it fit a standard 15-inch laptop?
The rucksack is designed for smaller devices; a 15-inch laptop may be a tight fit. It is best suited for tablets, notebooks, or smaller 13-inch laptops.
How do I remove stains from the leather?
Use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, but test it on a hidden area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or detergents.
Can the shoulder straps be replaced?
The straps are integrated into the design. If they sustain damage, it is recommended to take the bag to a professional leather goods repair service.
Does the colour change over time?
Yes, genuine leather typically develops a beautiful patina, which may cause the leather to darken or develop a richer tone with regular use and exposure to natural oils.
Troubleshooting
Stiff or sticky zipper
Apply a small amount of clear candle wax or graphite to the zipper teeth to lubricate the track.
Water spots after rain
Allow the bag to air dry completely, then gently buff the surface with a dry cloth and apply a light layer of leather conditioner.
Surface scuffs and scratches
Use a soft cloth to massage the leather, as the natural oils in the material can often buff out minor surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your rucksack lasts, avoid storing it in direct sunlight for extended periods, as UV rays can fade the natural leather tones. If the leather becomes wet, wipe it down immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth and allow it to dry naturally—do not use direct heat sources like heaters or hairdryers, as this can cause the leather to stiffen or crack. For general maintenance, apply a high-quality leather cream or conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and water-repellent. When storing the bag long-term, keep it in a cool, dry place and stuff it with tissue paper to help it retain its shape.
