Extended Product Information
FAQs
Will my 15.6-inch laptop fit in the bag?
The bag is designed for laptops up to 15 inches. A 15.6-inch laptop may be a very tight fit depending on the bezel thickness of your device.
Is the shoulder strap removable?
The Oscar is designed as a classic portfolio. Please refer to the specific model configuration, but typically these units rely on the primary handle structure.
Can I use this in the rain?
Leather is a natural material and should be kept dry. If you get caught in a light drizzle, wipe it dry immediately. We recommend a leather water-repellent spray for added protection.
What is the weight of the bag when empty?
The Howard London Oscar is crafted to be lightweight, typically weighing under 1kg, making it comfortable for daily commuting.
How do I remove a stain from the leather?
Blot the stain immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaps, as these can strip the natural oils from the cow leather.
Troubleshooting
Stiffness when opening the bag
Genuine leather often requires a 'break-in' period. Use the bag regularly, and the leather will naturally soften and become more flexible.
Surface scratches appearing
Minor surface marks are common with natural leather. Use a specialized leather buffing cloth or a small amount of leather conditioner to gently polish out light scuffs.
Stiff zipper movement
If the zipper becomes difficult to slide, run a graphite pencil lead over the teeth to act as a dry lubricant, or use a specialized zipper wax.

Compatibility

Care Instructions
To maintain the integrity of the genuine cow leather, follow these best practices:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove daily dust and dirt.
- Moisturizing: Every 6-12 months, apply a high-quality leather conditioner to prevent the material from cracking.
- Storage: Store the bag in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid keeping it in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent fading.
- Moisture: If the bag gets wet, wipe it down immediately with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators.
