The leather used by the brand is a byproduct of the food industry, slow-tanned with vegetable tannins to preserve its natural grain and original texture, thereby reducing chemical pollution. This allows the leather to mature naturally over time, developing a uniquely soft, lustrous color and feel. At HIDESIGN, every piece of leather is cherished. Offcuts from the workshop are repurposed as hang tags, zipper pulls, or small leather embellishments, embodying the spirit of sustainable craftsmanship through products that are "made to last, used to last." **┃Specifications & Details┃** Color: 黑 (Black) Material: Vegetable-tanned cowhide Water Repellent: No Storage Design: Exterior - 2 slip pockets, 2 zippered pockets, 1 luggage strap Interior - 4 zippered pockets, 2 zippered pockets Occasions: Work, Business, Commute, Travel Dimensions: Length 38 × Width 12 × Height 40 cm Laptop Compatibility: Fits up to a 15-inch laptop **┃Care Instructions & Leather Maintenance┃** • This product is handcrafted using genuine vegetable-tanned leather. As such, natural characteristics such as minor scratches, veins, blemishes, marks, and wrinkles may be present. These are inherent to the material and are not considered defects. • Due to variations in screen color temperature and photographic lighting, slight color discrepancies may occur. Please refer to the actual product for color accuracy. 1| Cleaning • Use a soft brush to gently remove dust from leather crevices. • You may mix a mild cleansing solution (a gentle facial cleanser with simple ingredients) with water in a **1:10** ratio. • Test the solution in an inconspicuous area (such as the bottom of the bag) to ensure it does not affect the leather. • Dip a clean cloth into the cleaning solution and gently wipe the surface of the bag, avoiding excessive rubbing. • After cleaning, allow the bag to air dry naturally. Avoid using a hairdryer or direct sunlight. 2| Conditioning • Apply a small amount of leather balm to a clean cloth. Test first on the bottom or interior of the bag. • Gently apply in a circular motion to evenly cover the entire bag, restoring the leather's suppleness and luster. • If leather balm is unavailable, mild body lotion or natural oils (such as coconut oil) can be used, but always test first. 3| Storage • When storing, gently stuff the bag with clean newspaper to maintain its shape. • Ensure corners are filled to prevent creases, but do not overstuff. • Place the bag in a cotton dust bag to allow the leather to breathe (avoid plastic bags). • Store in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from humidity and enclosed spaces.
