Cole Haan Midtown Leather Work Tote (Midnight Moon)

What laptop sizes will fit in this tote?

This bag accommodates laptops up to 16 inches. The padded compartment provides protection for MacBook Pro 16-inch models, Dell XPS 15 and similar sized devices. The compartment dimensions ensure your laptop fits securely without excessive movement that could cause damage during transport.

How much weight can this bag comfortably carry?

The bag itself weighs 1.34kg and the leather construction can handle substantial loads. The 28cm handles distribute weight effectively across your shoulder. For daily comfort, we recommend keeping total weight under 5kg including the bag itself, which accommodates a laptop, documents and personal essentials without strain.

Is the leather treated to resist water damage?

Cole Haan uses quality leather that has natural water resistance, but it's not completely waterproof. Light rain and spills won't immediately damage the leather, giving you time to dry it properly. For extended outdoor use in wet conditions, consider using a leather protector spray to enhance water resistance.

What are the internal organisation features?

The tote includes multiple compartments with a centre zip pocket for valuables. Additional pockets accommodate pens, cards and small electronics. The laptop compartment is separate from other storage areas, preventing items from scratching your device. This organisation system keeps everything accessible whilst maintaining a tidy interior.

How do the handles attach to the bag?

The handles are securely attached using reinforced stitching and quality hardware. Cole Haan uses double-stitching at stress points to prevent handle separation even under heavy loads. The attachment points are reinforced with additional leather backing, ensuring the handles remain secure throughout the bag's lifetime.

Can this bag fit under airline seats?

Yes, the dimensions of 28cm H x 42cm W x 15cm D comply with most airline personal item requirements. It fits comfortably under standard economy seats on major airlines. The bag's structured design prevents it from expanding beyond these dimensions, ensuring consistent compliance with airline regulations.

How should I care for the leather?

Clean the leather regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Apply a quality leather conditioner every 3-6 months to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking. Store the bag in a dust bag when not in use and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight which can cause fading and drying.

What warranty does Cole Haan provide?

Cole Haan stands behind their craftsmanship with warranty coverage against manufacturing defects. This typically covers issues with stitching, hardware failure and material defects that occur under normal use. The warranty doesn't cover damage from misuse, normal wear, or accidents.
