Note: Full-grain leather is a natural material and may show small marks, veins, or color variations that are part of its character. Scratches can be easily removed by gently rubbing them with a cloth dipped in vegetable oil.

Oil-treated leather products may naturally be prone to color transfer on light fabrics. To prevent this, ensure your leather is dry when wet and avoid contact with light-colored clothing. If stains do occur—don’t worry, they’ll come out in the wash.

Within 1-2 business days your order will be reviewed, approved, packed and prepared for shipping. Once your package has been shipped, you will receive a track and trace code with which you can track your order.

If you are still not satisfied with your purchase, you have 100 days to request a return.

FAQ

Every bag I make is crafted with care and attention to detail. I personally select the best leathers and materials and oversee every step of the process in my workshop. My goal is to create a bag that not only looks beautiful, but also lasts for years.

Leather is a beautiful, natural material that only gets more beautiful with age. To keep your bag in top condition, I recommend using leather conditioner every few months and storing the bag in a cool, dry place when not in use. If you ever have any questions about maintaining your bag, feel free to let us know, we are always here to help.

I want you to love your bag as much as I did while making it. For whatever reason, is the bag not quite what you expected? No problem - you can return it within 14 days of receiving it. Just send me an email and I'll take care of the rest.
