How do I care for my leather?
Regularly apply a nourishing product suitable for the type of leather (colorless, non-greasy). Avoid prolonged exposure to rain and direct sunlight. In case of a stain, blot without rubbing. Bull calf leather and nubuck each require a specific product, which we can recommend upon request.

Can my bag be waterproofed?
For nubuck and velvety leathers, a suitable waterproofing spray is recommended upon purchase. Contact our customer service for products compatible with your model.

How do I choose the right size?
Each product page indicates the exact dimensions (height, width, depth). If in doubt, our team is available by email or via the contact form.

What is your return policy?
You have 14 days from receipt to return an unused item in its original condition. See the "Make a Return" page for the complete procedure.

How do I contact you?
Via the contact form on our website. We respond within 48 business hours.
