We'll answer some frequently asked questions about the HushTug mini tote!
Hello, I'm Nakashima, a designer at HushTug.
In this article, I will explain frequently asked questions regarding the leather mini tote and zip mini tote.
Based on reviews we've received, I hope to resolve any questions or concerns you may have.
Is there a difference in storage capacity between the Zip Mini Tote (with zipper) and the Leather Mini Tote (without zipper)?
There is a slight difference in how an A4 file can be stored in the Zip Mini Tote and the Leather Mini Tote.
- Zip Mini Tote
An A4 clear file can be stored, but the zipper cannot be closed.
- Leather Mini Tote
Because it doesn't have a zipper, an A4 clear file can be stored completely inside.
However, the presence or absence of a zipper directly affects the security of the bag, so we recommend choosing the zip type if you prioritize security, and the leather mini tote if you prioritize ease of access.
The lining inside the bag moves around and feels inconvenient.
The lining is intentionally not fixed.
This is a design to prevent damage to the leather if you spill a drink inside the bag, as the lining can be easily pulled out.
Furthermore, because the lining can be easily turned inside out, cleaning is also simple!
I saw a review that said the zipper was difficult to open and close, what is the reality?
The zipper on the Zip Mini Tote may feel a bit stiff at first.
This is because the leather is new and not yet broken in, but it will become smoother after a few uses.
Also, since the zipper is designed to face downwards, when closing it, you can move it smoothly by lightly lifting the leather upwards.
Bags with a zipper on the main opening are generally difficult to close with one hand.
You can operate it smoothly by lightly holding down the bottom part of the zipper as you close it, so please give it a try!
Is the zipper prone to breaking?
The zipper section of HushTug's Zip Mini Tote is reinforced all the way around with leather, giving it higher durability compared to other bags.
Furthermore, even if the zipper tape wears out, HushTug offers repair and replacement at a relatively low cost.
While it can be difficult to replace zippers on bags from other companies, HushTug bags are designed to be easy to repair.
This is one of the ways we ensure our products can be enjoyed for a long time.
I've seen reviews saying the pockets are small, how should I use them?
The leather mini tote has a total of four pockets.
This design is intended to help organize small items.
If you want to store a long wallet or larger items, it is recommended to utilize inner bags or pouches.
For example, if you put HushTug's multi-case inside, it fits perfectly, making organization easier.
Why are the handles short and not suitable for shoulder carrying?
The mini tote is designed as a handbag, so the handles are intentionally short.
If the handles were longer, it would upset the design balance and change its portability, so the current size has been set.
- For men
It's difficult to carry over the shoulder; carrying it by hand is generally recommended.
- For women
It's possible to carry it on the arm, but it might feel tight with thick clothing.
If you're looking for a tote that can be carried over the shoulder, please consider other HushTug tote bags.
Some people say the size is too big, do you have smaller models?
While the current mini tote is designed as a small tote bag, we have received feedback from customers requesting even more compact sizes.
Therefore, we are considering developing even smaller models in the future.
What scenes are most people using it for?
The usage scenarios reported by our customers can be summarized as follows:
- For work (for those who don't carry a PC)
- For personal use (for carrying a wallet, smartphone, and small items)
- As a gift (popular as a gift for both men and women)
In particular, it is well-received as the perfect size for those who do not carry documents or PCs for their commute.
What is the storage capacity?
We also have a storage video on our e-commerce site, so please refer to that for more details.
In summary:
- Zip Mini Tote
Can store items up to 18cm in height (when zipper is closed)
- Leather Mini Tote
Can store items up to 23cm in height (no zipper)
If storage capacity is a priority, the leather mini tote is more suitable.
