Frequently Asked Questions

How are your bags made?

>

Every bag I make is crafted with care and attention to detail. I handpick the finest leathers and materials, and I personally 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 to come.

How should I care for my leather bag?

Leather is a beautiful, natural material that gets better with age. To keep your bag looking its best, I recommend using a leather conditioner every few months and storing it in a cool, dry place when not in use. If you ever have any questions about caring for your bag, just let me know—I’m always here to help.

I want you to love your bag as much as I loved making it. If for any reason it’s not quite right, you can return it within 14 days of receiving it. Just send me an email, and we’ll take care of everything.
