FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the bag?
The bag measures 32cm in length, 28cm in height, and 15cm in depth.
Is the leather ethically sourced?
Yes, the leather is sourced from environmentally-certified tanneries that follow Leather Working Group standards.
Can I fit a laptop in this tote?
The bag is best suited for tablets, small notebooks, or personal items. A standard-sized laptop may not fit depending on its dimensions.
Is this bag waterproof?
It is made of genuine leather, which is not inherently waterproof. We recommend using a leather-safe water repellent spray if you live in a high-precipitation area.
Where is the Lancaster Smooth Tote Bag manufactured?
This product is made in France.
Does it come with an adjustable shoulder strap?
The bag features fixed-length handles designed for versatile use over the shoulder or by hand, rather than a detachable adjustable strap.
Troubleshooting
The leather feels stiff or dry.
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to nourish the fibers and restore flexibility.
Zipper feels tight or difficult to slide.
Gently run a graphite pencil lead or a small amount of clear beeswax along the teeth of the zipper to improve lubrication.
Surface scuffs appearing from daily use.
Use a soft microfiber cloth to gently buff out minor scuffs, which often helps distribute the natural oils in the leather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required for the Lancaster Smooth Tote Bag. To ensure the longevity of the leather:
- Storage: Store the bag in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a dust bag to prevent surface scratches.
- Moisture Protection: Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If the leather gets wet, pat it dry gently with a clean, soft cloth and let it air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cream or conditioner recommended for smooth leather hides.
- Maintenance: Regularly apply a light coat of leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, especially in drier climates.
