Return & Refund Policy

Important Notice on Returns

Please note: Leather is a natural product that develops character with use. Aging, patina, and surface marks are part of its charm - not defects. Returns will not be accepted for natural wear-and-tear or standard signs of use over time.


How to Initiate a Return or Exchange

To log a return, please:

  1. Login to your customer profile at: https://shopify.com/80947282163/account
