Some screens have a limited color gamut, while others can display more colors. Color management: maintaining consistency across different devices and screens requires good color management. However, not all devices and screens are calibrated in the same way, which can result in differences in color representation. Display settings: things like brightness, contrast, and color temperature can affect how an image looks on a screen.

These are not defects but enhance the look and feel of our products over time. Some of the products with metal hardware might tarnish or lose its shine over time due to weather conditions and usage. These are changes which occur due to the varied use and handling of the product by the customer and cannot be held against the manufacturers.
Scratches, wrinkles, scars and marks on the leather surface are a part of the characteristics of the material. They do not qualify as defects. This can happen due to use over a period of time which enhances the look and feel of the product, adding to its vintage appeal.
Some types of leather might have a slight patina on the surface due to usage and is the quality of the leather. Genuine leather products are designed keeping in mind all the above-mentioned factors.
Marks are common on leather as each skin is different to the other. As no two skins are the same. Color variation of actual product received and as seen on your screen / monitor cannot be subject to return or refund of merchandise. Leather is a natural byproduct of animal hide. All our products are made from buff leather (full grain or top grain). This natural hide give is a raw and tough appearance and when handled with proper care it can last for decades.

MANUFACTURING:

Our products are crafted from genuine leather, ensuring that each piece retains the natural characteristics and texture that are unique to authentic leather. Unlike synthetic alternatives, our leather goods age gracefully, developing a rich patina over time that enhances their beauty and appeal.
Every product is made using traditional hand tools as well as state of the art equipment at different stages of the production process.
Every product we make is the result of meticulous craftsmanship. Skilled artisans carefully select, cut, and stitch each piece, ensuring that the final product is not only aesthetically pleasing but also structurally sound. This dedication to craftsmanship guarantees that our products are durable, resilient and able to withstand the rigors of daily use.
