Product Features

Water Repellent Treatment - The pebble grain leather receives special treatment for water repellency during manufacturing. This protective coating helps resist moisture damage whilst maintaining the leather's natural texture. The treatment extends the bag's lifespan and reduces maintenance requirements compared to untreated leather bags. Multiple Storage Compartments - Features six distinct storage areas including front and back exterior pockets, interior zip pocket, two open interior pockets and dedicated mobile phone compartment. This organisation system eliminates the need to dig through contents. Each pocket serves a specific purpose for keys, phone, cards and personal items. Protective Bottom Feet - Four metal feet attached to the base prevent direct contact with surfaces when placed down. These protective elements guard against scratches, stains and wear that typically occur on bag bottoms. The feet maintain the bag's shape and appearance even with regular use on various surfaces.

Pebble Grain Leather Construction - Made from genuine pebble grain leather that provides superior durability compared to smooth leather finishes. The textured surface naturally hides minor scratches and scuffs that occur during daily use. This leather type maintains its appearance longer and requires minimal care to preserve its quality. Comfortable Strap Design - The 29cm drop leather straps distribute weight evenly across the shoulder for comfortable carrying. These straps are constructed from the same pebble grain leather as the bag body for consistency. The length allows comfortable shoulder wear whilst maintaining an elegant silhouette. Secure Zippered Closure - The top zipper closure provides complete security for bag contents whilst maintaining easy access. The zipper extends across the full width of the opening for maximum accessibility. This closure system prevents items from falling out during transport whilst allowing quick retrieval when needed.

FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of this tote bag?

The bag measures 29.85cm in length, 26.67cm in height and 8.89cm in width. The leather straps have a 29cm drop length from the top of the bag to the handle. These dimensions make it suitable for daily essentials including A4 documents, tablets and personal items whilst remaining compact enough for comfortable carrying.

How much weight can this bag safely carry?

Whilst Dooney & Bourke doesn't specify a maximum weight limit, the pebble grain leather construction and reinforced stitching suggest it can handle typical daily loads. The bag itself weighs 0.88kg empty. Customer reviews indicate it maintains its shape well with regular use including laptops, books and daily essentials without showing signs of strain.

Is the water repellent treatment permanent?

The water repellent treatment is applied during the leather tanning process and becomes an integral part of the material. However, like all treatments, it may diminish over time with heavy use and exposure. The manufacturer recommends cleaning with distilled water and mild soap only, avoiding conditioning products that might affect the treatment's effectiveness.

What type of items fit in each compartment?

The front and back exterior pockets accommodate mobile phones, keys, or cards for quick access. The interior zip pocket secures valuables like cash or important documents. The two open interior pockets hold items like sunglasses, pens, or small cosmetics. The dedicated phone pocket keeps devices separate and easily accessible.

How do I properly clean and maintain this leather bag?

Clean using a cotton cloth slightly dampened with distilled water and mild bar soap, applied in circular motions. Follow with a water-only cloth to remove soap residue, then allow complete drying. The manufacturer specifically advises against creams, polishes, or conditioning products as the pebble grain leather is designed to maintain its beauty without additional treatments.

Will this bag fit under airline seats or in overhead compartments?

At 29.85cm x 26.67cm x 8.89cm, this bag fits comfortably under most airline seats and in overhead compartments. The dimensions comply with typical carry-on restrictions for personal items. The structured design prevents it from becoming misshapen when compressed, making it practical for air travel whilst maintaining its elegant appearance.

How does the pebble grain leather compare to smooth leather?

Pebble grain leather features a textured surface that naturally camouflages minor scratches and scuffs that would be visible on smooth leather. This texture provides superior durability and requires less maintenance than smooth finishes. The grain pattern adds visual interest whilst the leather remains supple and comfortable to handle over time.

Are the protective feet effective at preventing bag damage?

The four metal feet elevate the bag base approximately 3-4mm from surfaces, preventing direct contact that causes scratches and stains. These feet are particularly effective on rough surfaces like concrete or textured floors. Customer reviews consistently mention that bags maintain their pristine bottom appearance even after extended use, confirming the protective system's effectiveness.
