Know before you buy
No, the bag is crafted using a natural, vegetable oil-based tanning process. This method is entirely chemical-free and eco-friendly.
Yes, the leather surface is specifically treated to be water-resistant. While it handles light exposure well, we recommend wiping it dry if it gets significantly wet to maintain the leather's longevity.
With dimensions of 24 x 10 x 10 inches, it is quite spacious. While it fits most standard carry-on requirements, we recommend checking with your specific airline, as some have stricter length restrictions for overhead bins.
The brass hardware can be polished with a soft cloth to maintain its shine, while the leather can be kept in top condition by occasionally applying a natural leather conditioner. Avoid harsh cleaners, as the bag's semi-glossy finish is designed to be durable and scratch-resistant on its own.
Absolutely. Its durable construction and spacious interior make it a great choice for gym clothes and shoes, though you may want to use a separate waterproof pouch for damp items to protect the leather lining.
The bag features one external pocket for quick-access items like your phone or passport, and two internal pockets designed to help you keep smaller essentials organized and secure.
