Sold, and not made again
This piece was made once and has found its owner. Nothing that leaves this bench is repeated.
If it is close to what you are after, that is where a commission starts: your skin, your lining, your proportions. Commissions begin at $400 and handbags at $2,000, over ten to twelve weeks, with a 50% deposit to begin.
Everything else you would want to know
Craftsmanship
Every piece is cut, stitched and finished by a single artisan — saddle-stitched by hand throughout, with edges built and burnished over several passes. Nothing is sent out, and nothing is made twice.
Tanneries, authenticity & CITES
House leathers come from a short list of tanneries: Alran in France for chèvre, Tanneries Haas in France for Baranil and Novonappa calf, Weinheimer Leder in Germany for box calf, and Fontanella in Italy. Others are used where a project calls for it.
Exotic skins — alligator, ostrich, python, ring lizard — are sourced per piece and travel with their CITES documentation.
Every piece carries a stamped house mark and is recorded in the atelier ledger.
Shipping
Priority shipping is included in the price of every piece — USPS, UPS, FedEx or DHL, depending on what is shipping. Expedited services are available on request at the cost of the service.
Returns
A finished piece may be returned within 7 days of delivery, subject to inspection, where a genuine fault in the making was missed before it shipped. Those we will always put right.
Wear and overloading are not faults: a card pocket is cut for the number of cards it names, and a strap is built for the weight it was designed to carry. Pieces altered or repaired elsewhere fall outside this.
Past that window a piece is still not beyond help — handbags in particular are built with repair in mind. Write, tell me what happened and send a photograph. Repairs are assessed on inspection and quoted individually.
Commissioned pieces are final sale.
Care
Keep away from prolonged direct sun and standing water. Wipe with a dry, soft cloth. Exotic skins relax and soften with wear — that is correct, not damage. Store loosely stuffed, out of a sealed bag.
