Question 1

Are the laptop sizes exact?

Accepted Answer

They were measured on current MacBook Pro and ThinkPad models. If your laptop is thicker than 2 cm, take the next size up.

Question 2

How do I look after the leather?

Accepted Answer

Wipe dust off with a dry cloth. If it gets wet, blot it and let it dry away from radiators and direct sun, which is what cracks leather. A neutral colourless balm two or three times a year is all the feeding it needs; test it on the base first and expect it to look slightly darker for a day. Light scratches rub out under a finger.

Question 3

Will it get darker over time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and unevenly, which is the point. Full-grain leather darkens where it is handled and where light reaches it, so the handles and the front panel move first. It is not a defect and it is not covered by the guarantee, because it is the material doing what it was chosen to do.

Question 4

How should I wear it?

Accepted Answer

Set the strap so the bag sits at the top of the hip. Worn lower it swings when you walk and rides forward when you sit down. Over a suit, a shoulder bag marks a jacket less than a backpack does.

Question 5

Does it fit over a suitcase handle?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The pass-through on the back panel takes a standard telescopic handle, so it travels on the case rather than on your shoulder.

Question 6

What leather do you use?

Accepted Answer

Each product page states the material in the Details section, as documented by the supplier of that product. Where a product uses canvas, silicone or nylon, the page says so.

Question 7

How do I care for the leather?

Accepted Answer

Wipe with a dry cloth. Condition twice a year with a neutral leather balm. Keep away from radiators and direct sun. The journal has a full care guide.

Question 8

Will the colour change over time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The leather darkens with handling and light over the first months, and develops a slight sheen where the hands touch. That is full-grain doing what it does, and it is why two bags bought a year apart never look identical.
