How do I properly clean and maintain the pebble grain leather?

Clean with a soft cotton cloth slightly dampened with distilled water and mild bar soap, applied in circular motions. Remove soap residue with water-only cloth and allow to dry completely.

The multiple interior pockets help organise smaller items like pens, business cards and phone chargers. Many users specifically purchase this as a work bag due to its professional appearance and practical capacity.

What storage pockets and compartments are included?

The bag includes one exterior zip pocket for quick access items, one interior zip pocket for valuables, two interior open pockets for organisation, a dedicated phone pocket and an interior key hook. This variety of storage options helps keep items organised and easily accessible without rummaging through the main compartment.

How durable is the pebble grain leather construction?

The pebble grain texture naturally hides wear marks and scratches, maintaining its appearance longer than smooth leather. The material is specifically chosen for its ability to withstand daily use whilst developing an attractive patina over time. The leather lining and quality hardware contribute to the bag's long-term durability.

Is the caramel colour versatile for different outfits and occasions?

The caramel shade is a neutral brown tone that complements both casual and professional attire. It pairs well with earth tones, navy, black and cream colours. The classic colour choice ensures the bag remains stylish across seasons and fashion trends, making it a versatile wardrobe staple.

What is the zipper closure system like for security?

The main compartment features a full zipper closure that secures the entire opening, protecting contents from falling out or unauthorised access. The zipper hardware is quality construction designed to withstand frequent opening and closing. Additional zip pockets provide extra security for valuables and important items.

How does the water-repellent treatment perform in practice?

The treatment provides protection against light rain, spills and moisture exposure. Whilst not completely waterproof, it gives you time to wipe away liquids before they penetrate the leather. This feature is particularly useful for protecting electronics and documents carried inside the bag during unexpected weather or accidental spills.
