FAQs

Can this briefcase fit a 15-inch laptop?

Yes, with dimensions of 39 cm wide and 28 cm high, it accommodates most standard 15-inch laptops.

Is the shoulder strap removable?

Yes, the briefcase features an adjustable and detachable shoulder strap with leather details.

Does the leather change over time?

Yes, the leather is designed to develop a natural character and patina over time, which is normal for this material.

Is the bag waterproof?

The leather is not waterproof. We recommend using a leather-safe water repellent spray if you frequently commute in rainy conditions.

How should I store the briefcase when not in use?

Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, preferably inside a dust bag to prevent surface scratching.

Troubleshooting

Shoulder strap clip is sticking

Apply a tiny amount of silicone lubricant or graphite to the spring mechanism of the brass clip.

Leather looks dull or dry

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to a soft cloth and buff into the leather in circular motions.

Zipper feels tight

Run the lead of a soft pencil along the teeth of the zipper to act as a dry lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using your briefcase, adjust the shoulder strap to your desired length using the brass buckle system. For ongoing care, clean the surface periodically with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the leather appears dry, apply a high-quality leather conditioner designed for brown aniline or pull-up leathers to maintain suppleness. Keep the bag away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from hardening, and avoid soaking in water, as this can damage the leather finish. If the bag gets wet, wipe it down immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth and allow it to air dry naturally.
