Frequently Asked Questions
Can you work on non-traditional leathers like exotic skins?
We focus primarily on standard leather hides used in accessories, footwear, furniture, and saddlery. For exotic skins, we recommend contacting us for a case-by-case assessment; specialized care methods and legal restrictions may apply.
Do you ship items for repair?
Yes. We accept shipped items with clear photos and a deposit for larger or uncertain repairs. We’ll provide packing guidance and timelines.
How do you handle color matching?
We use layered dye blending and sample testing on inconspicuous areas where feasible. Complete color uniformity on heavily worn or patinaed items may be limited, but we aim for the closest, most natural match.
Are your custom goods guaranteed?
Custom items include workmanship guarantees for a set period; specifics vary by project. We discuss warranty terms during the initial consultation.
