Aika

Yes. The interior includes a laptop compartment, backed by a zippered pocket, a slip pocket and a cell phone pocket so the small things stop migrating. We do not print a screen size we cannot stand behind: check your laptop against the bag's 40 cm x 30 cm frame before you order.

Both. The adjustable and removable leather strap clips on for the shoulder and comes off when you would rather carry the AIKA by hand. The hasp closure opens in one gesture, which matters when your other hand is holding a coffee.

The AIKA measures 40 cm x 30 cm x 11 cm and is split into several main compartments, with zippered and slip pockets for the small stuff. That covers a day of work or study: what you need, where you left it, nothing rattling loose at the bottom.

The material is water-resistant, not waterproof. It can withstand light rain and splashes, but avoid heavy or prolonged rain and immersion. Protect electronics separately, wipe off moisture and let the bag dry naturally away from direct heat.

Anyone counting grams. At 1.5 kg empty, this is a solid leather bag that earns its weight in longevity, not a featherweight tote. If you want something lighter with a zipped top for daily errands, a fabric option like the Kapten & Son Skara Cloud is the better tool.

Little and often. If it gets wet, dry it; light scratches lift with a cloth barely touched with vegetable oil, rubbed in gently. The colour can transfer onto light fabrics when the bag is damp, so give it a moment before pressing it against a cream coat: if a stain happens anyway, it comes out in the wash.
