03Good to know

Questions

Straight answers to the questions we hear most.

Will my laptop fit?

Yes, up to 16 in. It sits in the main compartment, where the structured sides give it a generous amount of room.

Zip or open top?

The zip version closes fully; the open top offers quicker access. Both share the same leather, dimensions and hardware.

Can I wear it on the shoulder?

Yes. The handles clear the shoulder comfortably, and it carries just as well in the hand.

Does it stand up on its own?

Yes. A structured base keeps the bag upright when you set it down, and the sides hold their shape so the opening stays wide.

What is it made from?

Full-grain leather, substantial enough to hold its own shape, lined in cotton, with solid brass on the handles, rings and clasps, left unplated so that wear reads as patina.

Is the monogram included?

Yes. Up to three initials, engraved into the leather before the bag leaves the workshop, included in the price.

How do I care for it?

A dry cloth for dust, and a leather conditioner two or three times a year. The color deepens and the hand softens with use.

When will it arrive?

Ships in 1–2 business days (monogrammed pieces take a little longer, as each is engraved to order). Delivery is 5–10 business days to the US, Canada, UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, and 7–14 elsewhere. US import duties are covered.
