FAQs

Is the shoulder strap adjustable?

Yes, the shoulder strap is fully adjustable to accommodate different heights and carrying preferences.

What are the exact dimensions of the bag?

The bag measures 50 cm in length, 27 cm in height, and 26 cm in depth.

Does the bag include a lock?

No, the bag does not come with an integrated lock, but the zippers can accommodate a standard luggage padlock.

Will the leather change color over time?

Yes, as a natural material, the buffel leather will develop a patina, which is a process where the leather darkens and gains character through exposure to light and natural oils.

Is this bag suitable for checked luggage?

While durable, it is designed primarily as a carry-on or weekend bag. If checked, it is recommended to place it in a protective travel cover to prevent scratches.

Can I fit a 15-inch laptop inside?

The dimensions allow for a 15-inch laptop, though it is recommended to place the device in a padded sleeve first, as the bag does not contain internal shock-absorbing padding.

Troubleshooting

Stiff zipper operation

Apply a small amount of beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth to improve movement.

Leather surface appearing dry

Apply a light, even coat of leather conditioner using a soft cloth and buff gently until absorbed.

Stain on the exterior leather

Use a damp cloth to lightly blot the area, then allow to air dry; avoid scrubbing, which can damage the braided texture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, durable buffel leather construction
  • Sophisticated aesthetic that develops character with age
  • Well-organized interior with dedicated slip pockets
  • Flexible carrying options via detachable shoulder strap
  • Ample capacity for short weekend trips

Cons

  • Requires regular leather conditioning to maintain appearance
  • Material is sensitive to prolonged exposure to rain or moisture
  • Lack of integrated laptop sleeve or padding for fragile electronics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup of the bag is minimal; simply attach the shoulder strap using the heavy-duty clips if you prefer hands-free carrying, or remove it for a more traditional hand-carried look.

Care instructions for the buffel leather are critical for longevity:

  1. Keep the leather dry. If it gets wet, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth and let it air dry naturally away from heat sources.
  2. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every 6-12 months to prevent cracking.
  3. Store in a cool, dry place inside a breathable dust bag when not in use for extended periods.
  4. Avoid contact with harsh chemicals or abrasive surfaces that might scuff the braided texture.
