Dr. Martens Heart Shaped Bag - Black

The backpack measures approximately 11.5 inches in length, 10 inches in height, and 3 inches in depth.

The main body of the backpack is constructed from Kiev leather, which is a hardwearing, rigid leather. The front pocket and strap on the black style are made from patent leather.

You should clean both the Kiev and patent leather surfaces with a damp cloth. For patent leather, you can buff it gently with a soft, dry cloth after cleaning to restore its sheen. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Yes, the Dr. Martens Heart Backpack is designed to be versatile and can be worn both as a traditional backpack and as a crossbody bag thanks to its adjustable strap.

This compact backpack is ideal for carrying essentials such as a phone, wallet, keys, small cosmetics, and other personal items. It is not designed for larger items like laptops or full-sized books.

Info needed: [While leather offers some natural resistance to moisture, the bag is not fully waterproof. It's recommended to avoid heavy rain or excessive exposure to water. For enhanced protection, you could consider applying a leather protector specifically designed for rigid or patent leathers.]

Info needed: [The description specifies an "adjustable strap" but does not explicitly state if it is removable. Typically, Dr. Martens straps are built for durability and are not easily detached.]

Adjust the buckle on the strap to find the optimal length for your body and preferred wearing style (backpack or crossbody). Ensure the weight inside the bag is evenly distributed.

Clean the Kiev leather surfaces with a clean, damp cloth. For patent leather sections, wipe with a damp cloth and then buff gently with a soft, dry cloth to restore shine. Avoid using excessive water or harsh cleaning agents.

Gently rub a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant along the zipper teeth. Open and close the zipper a few times to distribute the lubricant. Avoid oil-based lubricants as they can stain the leather.

While the rigid Kiev leather holds its shape well, for long-term storage, you can lightly stuff the bag with acid-free tissue paper to help maintain its silhouette. Avoid using newspaper as the ink can transfer.
