### ► A Note on the Material: Split-Grain Cowhide Leather

This bag is made from split-grain cowhide leather. When a cowhide is tanned, it's split into layers: the top layer, closest to the animal's outer surface, is full-grain or top-grain leather; the layer beneath it — split leather, is what's used here. It's still genuine leather, but because it comes from the more fibrous underside of the hide. Split leather is more affordable and easier to shape into intricate woven patterns than full-grain leather, though it doesn't develop the same natural patina over time. You may notice gentle variation in the weave pattern, subtle texture differences, or soft creasing along the fold lines — these are part of the handcrafted weaving process, not defects.

### ► Styling Tips

Wear it by the top handle with tailored trousers and a knit for a polished office look, or sling it crossbody over a trench coat for easy everyday wear. Neutral colorways like Taupe, Cream, or Espresso Brown pair especially well with monochrome workwear, while Wine or Olive Green make an easy statement piece against denim or black separates.

### ► Care Instructions

Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight and moisture. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth; avoid rubbing directly on the woven seams. Store stuffed with paper in a dust bag when not in use, and avoid overloading to help the frame clasp keep its shape.

### ► Frequently Asked Questions

**What's the difference between the two sizes?** The Small is a compact, everyday size perfect for essentials, while the Large is roomy enough for a laptop or iPad — great as a polished work bag.

**Can I wear this crossbody?** Yes — the strap is adjustable to approximately 110cm total length, so you can wear it by the handle, on the shoulder, or crossbody.

**What is the bag made from?** The exterior is split-grain cowhide leather — genuine leather taken from the lower layer of the hide, finished smooth and durable for the handwoven design.

**Why might the weave pattern look slightly different between photos?** Because each panel is woven by hand, subtle variation in the weave and slight texture differences are normal and part of what makes each bag unique.
