Frequently asked questions

How is the leather sourced?

Low emission is important for me, therefore I use mainly cow-hide from Europe, especially from the Bavarian Alpes in the south of Germany. The hides come from small farmers around that area, where cows stay on the Alms from spring till autumn.

What grade of leather do you use?

I use Full Grain cow-hide, which is high quality leather, the strongest and most durable part of the hide. The surface has not been sanded, buffed or snuffed, which means it displays the natural markings and grain characteristics. These are incorporated into my designs and therefore make every item unique.

What tanning agents are used?

For environmental and health reasons I use leather that is treated in Europe and under strict regulations. Semi Anilline tanning and Aniline / Vegetable tanning. The latter with valonea tanning agent and therefore chrome free and allergy friendly.

Return Policies

You can return the item during 14 days, unless the good is still in unused and condition as I sent it. It is the buyers responsibility to pay the return costs and pack safely. After receiving and checking the item, I will return the amount you have payed for the returned good(s), excluding the original shipping costs. This will happen via the same way, you have purchased the item. Please allow 14 days until the money is in your bank

Sizing details

Measurements are given in cm and transferred to inches. I always use the outside width, hight and depth. Find detailed information on what items might fit into the bag or case with the description, photos with props. If still in doubt, do not hesitate to ask by sending a convo! Please note that all items are made from a natural product and by hand and therefore irregularities are part of the charmful, manufacturing process.

Custom and personalised orders

I do not customise for various reasons.
• The Leather suppliers which fullfill my demands on eco friendly, vegetable tanned European hides aren’t closeby.
• I only stock as needed for current collection to avoid surplus leftovers, and cutting costs in storing valuable materials.
• Every new design challenges material and perfect excecution which is a time consuming matter I would gave to charge for.
