3. Frequently Asked Questions
From here, I'll answer the most frequently asked questions from our customers.
Q. Why aren't there bottom studs or external pockets?
In short, we intentionally omit them.
HushTug's leather tote is designed with the concept of "ultimate simplicity."
Certainly, bottom studs offer benefits like preventing dirt, and external pockets make items easier to access.
However, in practice,
- If the bottom is soft and the studs are short, the bag itself will touch the ground.
- Leather softens with use, reducing the effectiveness of bottom studs.
These points are also considered.
Additionally, when carried on the shoulder, the bottom of a tote bag is visible, so we omit them to maintain design consistency.
Q. Will it always stand upright?
To put it simply, it will not always stand upright.
Due to the nature of natural leather, it will soften with use.
However, you can prolong its uprightness by being mindful of the following:
- Empty the contents after use
- Store it by hanging
Leaving heavy items inside will cause it to lose its shape more quickly.
Q. Is the zipper difficult to close?
When new, the leather around the zipper may not be broken in, making it feel difficult to close.
However, it will gradually become smoother with use.
Tips for smoother use
- Pull the tab lightly while closing
- Gently massage the leather around the zipper to break it in
This alone will significantly improve ease of opening and closing.
Q. Is the handle strong enough?
While it may appear thin, there are no issues with durability.
- Reinforcement material is used inside the handle
- The entire bag structure distributes the load
Therefore, the design prevents stress from concentrating solely on the handle.
