Our software generates an order number specific to your purchase.  This is your order number if you need to contact us.


If you are shopping from North America or anywhere else outside the UK, place your order and your credit card company will convert the transaction to US Dollars or your own currency.

When confirmation of order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.



OUR PRODUCTS


Although every effort is taken to present the color of our products as accurate as possible due to computer monitor variations some of the colours might slightly vary from actual. Our efforts focus on trying to reproduce colors accurately mainly on Apple products such as iMacs, Macbooks and iPads that have a particular color profile. This variation is mainly observed in yellow and pink colors.

As all our products are hand made, they may exhibit slight imperfections due to the type of leather as well as the hand-made nature of our products.

Such imperfections include texture and color variations, wrinkles, markings and scars.
