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 load a backpack this size?

Accepted Answer

Laptop against the back panel, heavy things low. Adjust the straps so the base sits at your waist rather than your hips: that is what keeps a full pack off your shoulders on a long walk.

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.
