Due to the personalised nature of embossed items, they cannot unfortunately be returned. If you would like to return your purchase to us to be embossed at a later date, once you are pleased with your choice, please contact our Customer Services Team for details.

As long as your return includes your contact details, order number and reason for return we will be able to process your return swiftly. Usually the majority of returns are refunded within 14 days of receipt back onto your original method of payment. Please note that for credit or debit card refunds, after processing your bank may take 3-5 working days to apply the credit onto your account. For PayPal refunds,these are usually credited by PayPal within 24-48 hours.

It is important to note that personalised items will take 24-48 hours to be personalised prior to dispatch. Therefore if next working day or express delivery is selected, the item will be dispatched on this delivery service, after it has had your personalisation request applied to the product. However, our embossing team is very efficient so delivery is usually still quick. If you are concerned about the delivery of your personalised items, it is best to contact us directly.

We say to allow in general 24-48 hours for personalisation to be applied to an order. Sometimes it is quicker than this, however at busy times such as Christmas it may take the full 48 hours. If you require a personalised order quickly, we will always try to accommodate this where possible, please call or email our Customer Service Team who will be able to assist you with your request.

A lot of the time it is possible for us to personalise, sayings, full names or other messages on items for you. If you require a longer personalisation, please message us via the contact us form noting the personalisation you require, as well as the product you would like it placed on. Our Customer Services Team will then advise you whether it is possible to carry out the personalisation that you require, and provide an individual quote for the costs involved.

All of our small leather goods come beautifully presented in a keepsake box, but our gift wrap option allows you to add elegant silver paper, a ribbon and gift card too. For larger items, our gift wrap option will add a luxury keepsake box, grosgrain ribbon and gift card to your purchase.

In most cases, yes. Our warehouse is always well stocked and we receive deliveries each week. You can check the stock status once an item has been added to the shopping basket. On our product pages you will also see if an item you require is showing as out of stock by clicking on the required leather colour. If the item is out of stock, it is still possible to place a pre-order for the item online. If the item you order is out of stock, you will be contacted by our Customer Service team and notified of the lead time for receiving your item as well as any alternative products that are immediately available.

If an item is showing as out of stock, you have the option to place a pre-order via the product page online.

You will then have the item reserved for you from the next available shipment arriving from Italy, and the item will automatically be dispatched for you once it arrives. Once you have placed your pre-order, you will be contacted by our knowledgeable Customer Services Team to inform you of the expected delivery date for your order.

We source our genuine leather from the uppermost layer of the hide, where the fibres are tightest, known as full grain leather, We don’t correct or alter the hides before tanning, which leaves the natural folds and marks visible, and also beneficially leaves the hide in its strongest form pre-tanning. As the surface of the leather is left unaltered, our full grain leather retains the natural character, texture and durability of the hide. This is why we will only ever use full grain leather: it’s quite simply the best. As the leather is used in its unaltered form you may see creases, wrinkles, spots or little marks on the surface. These are not imperfections but natural characteristics of the leather we use, making each piece truly unique.

We understand that you want to make the most of your leather product and general care will keep it looking better for longer. For handy care tips regarding cleaning, treating and storing your leather bag please visit our Leather Care page.

You will also find some advice on how to care for your suede bag too. Should your bag be invoiced with an accidental spillage or some other misfortune, please contact our Customer Service Team who will advise you on the best way for getting your bag back to its best!

If you feel your leather product could be looking better, or a part is missing you need to replace, we will be happy to take a look at it for you and see where we can help. In the first instance please contact our Customer Services Team with your enquiry and they will be happy to assist you.

As the manufacturer, we prefer to sell direct to the consumer online rather than through storefronts. This means we can sell a high quality, luxury product at a reasonable price by not having stores. It also means you are receiving the correct information regarding our products, and dealt with by our knowledgeable and experienced staff every step of the way from enquiry to order and delivery.

In short, no. Although our items are handmade in Italy, UK orders are dispatched from our UK Head Office warehouse and there are therefore no additional taxes or duties to pay. The price at checkout is the price you will pay for the item delivered to your door.

Whilst we don’t have a showroom, we are happy for customers to visit our UK Head Office by appointment only Monday-Friday to view products. Currently, due to Coronavirus and the need to keep staff and visitors safe, we have suspended visitors entering our offices. We do hope we will be able to welcome you back soon. For viewing appointment enquiries please call our Customer Service Team on 0870 24 24 684.
