What are the dimensions of the bag?

How should I clean the leather tote?

Wipe clean with a soft cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth, but do not immerse in water or use artificial heat to dry. Always allow to dry naturally.

What is the St. Christopher medal for?

The antiqued St. Christopher medal charm is sewn within the bag as an homage to the patron saint of travelers and as a stamp of authenticity.

Can I carry heavy items in this tote?

How do I store the tote when not in use?

Troubleshooting

Leather appears dry or stiff

Apply a small amount of a good quality leather conditioner specifically designed for cow leather. Test on an inconspicuous area first.

Bag loses its shape

Ensure you are not overfilling the bag and avoid carrying excessively heavy items. Stuff the bag with tissue paper when storing to help maintain its structure.

Minor scuffs or scratches on the leather

For light scuffs, gently rub the area with your finger to help blend the color. For deeper scratches, a leather repair balm or professional cleaning might be necessary.

Twill lining appears dirty

Use a slightly damp cloth to gently spot clean the lining. Avoid saturating the fabric. Allow to air dry completely.
