FAQs

Is the bag lined?

No, the Japan Basket Tote features an unlined, open-woven interior to showcase the craftsmanship of the leather strips.

Can this bag hold heavy items?

The bag is robust, but it is recommended to avoid over-stuffing with excessively heavy objects to prevent stretching the leather over time.

Does the colour change over time?

Yes, as the bag is made from premium cow leather, it will develop a natural patina, which is considered a desirable trait of high-quality leather.

Where is the St. Christopher medal located?

The antiqued medal charm is sewn into the interior of the bag as a stamp of authenticity.

Can I use this bag in the rain?

It is not recommended. If the bag gets wet, wipe it down immediately and let it air dry naturally, avoiding direct sunlight or artificial heat.

Troubleshooting

Surface dust or debris trapped in the weave

Use a soft-bristled brush or a compressed air canister to gently dislodge debris from between the leather strips.

Leather feels stiff or dry

Apply a high-quality, neutral leather cream to nourish the fibers; ensure it is tested on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Dragon Diffusion tote maintains its appearance, follow these care guidelines:

Storage: Always store your bag in a cool, dry place when not in use. Use a dust bag to prevent dust accumulation in the woven gaps.
Cleaning: Gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If the leather needs deep cleaning, use a dedicated leather conditioner meant for vegetable-tanned or premium leathers.
Moisture Protection: Avoid direct exposure to rain or heavy moisture, as leather can swell or become misshapen when wet. If the bag gets wet, air dry it naturally away from heat sources like radiators.
Shape Retention: When storing, stuff the interior with acid-free tissue paper to help the bag maintain its structured form.
