FAQs

Can this bag fit a 15-inch MacBook Pro?

Yes, the interior is specifically designed to accommodate up to a 15-inch laptop alongside other documents.

Does it have a dedicated laptop sleeve?

The main compartment is spacious enough for a laptop, though it is not a padded, dedicated sleeve; we recommend using a slim laptop case for extra protection.

What is the best way to clean the leather?

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner followed by a conditioner.

Is the strap removable?

The strap is designed to be adjustable for comfort but is not intended to be removed from the bag.

Is the bag water-resistant?

As it is made from genuine leather, it is not waterproof; avoid heavy rain and use a leather protector spray if you live in a wet climate.

Troubleshooting

Magnetic flap won't stay closed

Check to ensure the bag is not overpacked and that no items are obstructing the magnetic mechanism.

Leather looks dry or dull

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner with a soft cloth and buff gently to restore the natural oils and shine.

Canvas strap feels stiff

Adjust the strap length and manipulate the webbing manually; the material will naturally soften and become more flexible with regular use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, timeless leather design
  • Fits 15-inch laptops and A4 documents
  • Includes comfortable, padded shoulder strap
  • Excellent internal organization features
  • Comes with a protective dust bag

Cons

  • Leather requires periodic maintenance
  • Heavier than synthetic messenger bags
  • Magnetic flap might not be as secure as a zipper for extreme travel

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your bag, simply adjust the canvas webbing strap to your preferred length using the sliding buckle. The bag is compatible with most laptops up to 15 inches. For care, store the bag in the included dust bag when not in use to protect the leather. Use a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight or moisture, and wipe down with a soft, dry cloth if it becomes damp.
