What can it hold? Does it fit a 12.9″ iPad?

Yes. The main compartment fits a 12.9″ iPad/tablet, phone, long wallet, sunglasses, small bottle, makeup and keys. The inner slip pocket fits a 6.9″ phone or cards/AirPods, keeping small items easy to reach. Roomy for daily use without feeling bulky

Will the brown lining make it hard to find things?

For the brown bag, we use a premium coffee-colored polyester lining—smooth, durable and not too dark, so items don’t “disappear” inside. It’s also easy to wipe clean and resists fraying.

Does the bag have a strong smell?

We use low-odor vegan leather, so the bag has virtually no chemical smell. If you notice a light “new materials” scent at first opening, that’s normal and will air out naturally—just leave it in a ventilated place for 24–48 hours

Are the straps securely attached? Will they hold up for daily use?

Yes. We reinforced stress points with thicker thread and bar-tack stitching at the strap joints. Bar tacks are dense locking stitches that anchor the strap to the bag, making the attachment sturdier for everyday carry

Is the zipper smooth? What if it catches the lining?

Zipper is upgraded and smooth. If it catches, the soft lining may have shifted. Fix: open slightly, gently pull the lining from the teeth, smooth it, then zip slowly—it will glide. If you need help, message us via Amazon—we’re happy to assist
