Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Products

Why is my piece of leather not rectangular?

As you probably know, leather does not come off the roll and a skin has a specific shape. For that reason we cannot promise exact sizes, such as with a coupon (approximately 45x50cm) or a quarter hide (approximately 90x100cm) or with a half hide (approximately 90x180cm). Because every skin is unique, the stated sizes indicate the total surface that you will receive. You will therefore not receive a square piece of leather with the exact length and width measurements (an example: if you order a quarter hide of 100x90 cm, it can also be 110x81 cm). Also take some cutting loss into account when selecting the right size for your project.

Nevertheless, the piece of leather you order has the same amount as what is described. That's why we try to make everyone happy with the same amount of beautiful leather pieces.

I have a hole in my piece of leather, did I get you a damaged skin?

As you probably know, leather is a natural product, which means that the animal can always suffer from scars and insect bites.

So that's why it regularly happens that there are holes in the skin. There can be two reasons for this; during slaughter, the skin is cut off the animal and sometimes the butchers are less precise than we would like and then you call it
a 'butcher cut';

Or it could be that it's such an ugly spot that the tannery decided to cut it out. But at all times you don't pay for the hole.
The measuring machine only measures the surface that onsists of leather.

Keep in mind that if you got a piece of leather with a hole, we probably supplied that hide bigger. So that you still have
something extra to get your patterns out.

My piece of leather has a different size than the one I ordered.

This is often the case. We always try to give everyone the right amount. Because as you probably know, leather doesn't come off the roll and a skin has a specific shape. It is therefore possible that you did not receive a 45x50cm with a coupon, but perhaps 60x38 or 55x41. Nevertheless, the piece of leather you ordered has the same amount as what is described. This also applies to every size we offer (quarter skin / half skin / whole skin), except for the panels.
We have had a cutting knife made for this, so they are perfectly cut out at 20x30cm.

Do you need exact easurements? Please let us know in advance by leaving your measurements in the comments field. Then we can take this into account in regards to the products we have in stock.

The zipper of my jacket is broken, can you repair the bottom?

No, unfortunately this is not possible. The bottom of a separating zipper cannot be repaired manually, because this part (retaining box) can only be made in the factory. So when the bottom of the zipper is broken (in a jacket) you need to have a new zipper put in.

Ordering

I am a private individual, can I contact you?

We are a wholesaler, but since there is no good alternative for private individuals to buy our products elsewhere, private individuals are welcome. Keep in mind that the prices in our wholesale are excluding VAT. A good alternative to our wholesale is our online shop.

What do I have to do to return my product?

2. Prepare your product for the return journey:

Pack it well and firmly. Preferably use the original packaging. That way the chance of damage is as small as possible and we might be able to make someone else
happy with it. Do you no longer have the original packaging at home? No problem, if you have another sturdy box, that will do too. As long as the leather is rolled and not folded.

3. Return the package to our store or send it via a delivery service.

Please read our entire return policy.

What are the exceptions to returns?

You will understand that you cannot return the following items:

  • If you have already cut the leather or if you have stored the leather incorrectly so that someone else would not want to buy it anymore.
  • Vouchers, gift cards and coupons. Even if they have not yet been used.
  • Tools and/or products damaged by your use.
  • Custom made products, such as zippers.
  • Workshops that have already taken place where you have not been present.

the amount using a gift card or voucher. You will then receive that amount back in the form of shop credit..

Do I have to pay for returning my product?

It depends. If you have changed your mind or found out that it is not the right product for your purpose, you must pay the
return costs yourself. 

If the product is damaged or if the wrong product has been delivered, the shipping costs are of course on us
