What makes the DriTan leather technology special?

DriTan technology is Ecco's proprietary water-efficient leather tanning process that reduces water consumption by up to 25% compared to conventional tanning methods.

Can this bag accommodate a laptop safely?

The structured design maintains shape even when fully loaded, preventing items from shifting during transport.

How comfortable is the shoulder strap for extended wear?

The leather shoulder strap features a 30cm drop length, positioning the bag comfortably at hip level for most users. The premium leather construction distributes weight evenly across your shoulder, reducing pressure points during extended carrying. At just 0.72kg, the bag's lightweight design minimises strain even when fully packed.

What are the care requirements for this leather bag?

How does the recycled lining compare to traditional materials?

The 100% recycled textile lining offers comparable durability to conventional materials whilst supporting environmental sustainability. It provides smooth interior surfaces that protect belongings from snags and maintains the bag's structure over time. The recycled material is easy to clean and resistant to everyday wear.

What fits in the exterior credit card holder?

This convenient feature is perfect for travel cards, ID cards, or frequently used payment cards. The holder maintains card security whilst providing easy accessibility.

Can the shoulder strap be removed completely?
