FAQs
Will this briefcase fit my 15-inch laptop?
The exterior dimensions are 15 inches long, but due to the frame and internal padding, it is best suited for 13-inch or thin 14-inch laptops.
Is the leather water-resistant?
While high-quality leather has some natural resistance, it is not waterproof and should be kept dry to preserve the finish.
How do I attach the detachable shoulder strap?
Use the lobster-claw clasps located at the ends of the strap to hook onto the D-rings attached to the sides of the bag.
Can I fit a bulky water bottle inside?
Given the 2 1/4 inch slim profile, it is recommended to keep bulky items to a minimum; a slim water bottle might fit, but a wide one will cause the bag to bulge.
How often should I condition the leather?
Depending on the climate and frequency of use, conditioning the leather every 3 to 6 months is recommended to prevent it from drying out.
Troubleshooting
Shoulder strap feels uncomfortable during long use
Ensure the strap length is adjusted so the bag sits at hip height to distribute weight evenly across your torso.
Leather surface shows light scratches or scuffs
Use a high-quality leather cream or balm to buff out minor surface imperfections and restore the natural sheen.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to open
Apply a tiny amount of clear wax or a graphite pencil tip to the zipper teeth to help the slider move more smoothly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Clean Regularly: Wipe down the leather exterior with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris.
- Condition: Use a leather-specific conditioner every few months to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: When not in use, store the bag in a cool, dry place, ideally in a dust bag to protect the finish.
- Moisture: Avoid exposing the leather to excessive water; if it gets wet, wipe immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth and let it air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
