Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Before using your Coach Tabby Shoulder Bag 20 for the first time:
- Waterproofing: Apply a suitable leather care product specifically designed for waterproofing. Follow the product instructions carefully. This step helps protect the leather from moisture and stains.
- Strap Adjustment: Attach the desired strap (handle or adjustable shoulder/crossbody strap) by securing the clasps to the D-rings on the bag. Adjust the long strap to your preferred length for comfortable wear.
Compatibility
This bag is designed to carry daily essentials. While its compact size makes it versatile, it may not accommodate larger items like tablets, full-sized water bottles, or large books. It pairs well with both casual and semi-formal attire.
Care
- Regular Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the leather gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Spot Treatment: For minor stains, use a specialized leather cleaner according to the product's instructions. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Protection from Elements: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme heat, or moisture. If the bag gets wet, blot it immediately with a dry, soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally, away from heat sources.
- Storage: When not in use, store your bag in its provided dustbag to protect it from dust and scratches. Stuff it lightly with tissue paper to help maintain its shape, but avoid overstuffing.
- Avoid Overloading: Do not overload the bag, as this can distort its shape and put undue stress on the straps and seams.
