How to extend the lifespan of your DICOTA bag

Proper care and handling can help preserve a bag’s appearance and functionality. Follow the instructions for your specific DICOTA model and adapt these everyday habits to its materials and construction.

1. Clean gently

Use a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of suitable mild cleaner, following the care instructions. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying unless the product instructions explicitly permit them. Heat and mechanical agitation may affect coatings, padding and seams.

2. Look after zippers and buckles

Avoid overpacking or forcing a closure. If you regularly need more space, compare a larger model such as Backpack Travel with your current bag. Pull zippers along the track and remove dirt gently if they become difficult to operate.

3. Pack and lift carefully

Place your laptop in the designated compartment and distribute the remaining items evenly. Stay within the product’s intended load and capacity. Use the carry handle as intended and avoid lifting a heavily loaded bag by a single strap.

4. Dry before storing

If the bag becomes wet, empty it and allow it to air-dry at room temperature in a ventilated area. Keep it away from direct heat and make sure it is dry before storage.

Regular care can help keep your DICOTA bag in use for longer. Explore our product-care guidance and choose a carrying solution suited to your everyday load.
