When you have found the desired article, you can add it to your basket. In the cart you will find a list of all the articles you added. You can continue to make changes in your basket (for example the number of articles you want to order). If you wish to complete your order you can proceed to the checkout process. In the first step of the checkout you can enter your address details. In this step you can add the desired shipping and billing address. Once you have entered the address details, you can select the shipping and payment method. You will then see a summary of all details entered and options selected. The final step of the checkout process is to go to the payment page where you can make your payment. After going through all steps of the ordering process you will receive a confirmation of your order. Once we receive your payment, we can process and dispatch your order.

For each article we indicate whether an item is immediately available or not. When an item is immediately available and the payment is completed, you can expect your order within 2- 3 business days at home. When an item is not immediately available, it usually takes just a few business days before the item is available again via our webshop. When you want to be updated about the availability of a specific item, please click on the desired item and leave your contact information. Once the item is available again you will receive a message from us.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to make a reservation for a product. Adding articles to your shopping cart does also not lead to a reservation of the articles. An article is only reserved for you once you have placed an order and have received our order confirmation.

After going through all the steps of the ordering process it is no longer possible to change or cancel your order. The reason is that your order will be immediately prepared for dispatch and handed to the carrier. You have the right to cancel the order within 14 calendar days for any reason. The withdrawal period will expire 14 calendar days after the day you or a third party designated by you, other than the carrier, has received the order.

Our products are made with only the best possible full grain bovine Italian leather. Each and every skin is carefully hand-selected. Then, working closely with specialist tanneries, we give it the exact shine, colour, and feel that our products require. Only the best is good enough. It’s a meticulous, painstaking regime that is driven by our genuine love of leather.

We want our leather products to not only look and feel good, they should also be durable and long lasting. That’s why our metal logos, buckles, snap hooks, and push buttons are made from a high quality nickel-free alloy and our metal zippers have polished teeth.

Leather is a rich and durable natural material that actually improves with age. Treat it well and you’ll enjoy it for many years. Although our leather bags are protected with a water-resistant coating, we advise that if your bag got wet in the rain, to dry it off with a soft cloth. To keep it clean, supple and conditioned we recommend the care product Carbon Wax Spray. Treatment of our products with aggressive maintenance products will void the warranty.

Leather can dry out in use by, for example, dry summers and heated areas. Make sure that you do not place your bag on or against a heater.

Leather is a natural product; small spots and bumps, such as insect bites, neck folds and small color differences underline the authenticity of the leather.
