I appreciate you taking the time to view my work, and I hope these bags will serve you well, just as they gave me pride while making them. Thank you for being a part of this journey.

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.
