We invest in craftsmen who care and in materials that are built to last.  Our hope is that the products you receive will clearly reveal what our company stands for, and that is, to provide each and every customer with a great experience and high quality products.

As intentional as we are about this, we recognize that issues can still exist.

We make every effort to include product descriptions on our product pages.  Please be sure to read the descriptions regarding dimensions, weight or other characteristics of the item prior to purchasing. 

Please note that color differences may be a factor of photography and differences in image monitors.  Leather is a natural, durable, & flexible material.  Each hide is unique with individual characteristics which may be visible on our products  These features may include small leather scars, creases, or variations in color, which are not manufacturing defects.  This applies as well to our cowhide hair bags.  Each cowhide hair design varies and is unique with its own individual characteristics; not one cowhide hair is the same as another.  The location of its spots will differ, therefore, each bag will have it’s own unique look.  Manufacturing defects include rivets, locks, and other hardware pieces found on our products.

ORDER CHANGES & CANCELLATIONS

Our products are produced from our manufacturer in India and are hand-made by talented artisans.  Our automated system allows for our manufacturer to receive your order directly so that your order is created immediately.  This is done to ensure a timely delivery to our customers.  Due to our quick processing time, we are unable to cancel or modify an order after it has been submitted.

If notified in a timely manner, if you made an error in your shipping address, we will do what we can to make the change, but this can not be guaranteed.

OUR WARRANTY

We’ve designed our bags to last for decades, perhaps your entire life.  We’ve invested heavily in the highest quality leather and materials, something that most manufacturers haven’t done.  You’re not going to have to worry about our leather goods wearing out prematurely.

It would have been easy for us to offer you a 100 year or even 1,000 year warranty. Heck, why not a 1,000,000 year warranty?  But the truth is, the critical time period is really just the first year or so.   After that, it’s mostly how well you maintain your leather goods that will determine the lifespan. There’s a misconception out there that you could discover a defect in year 73 that you need a warranty for.  If a bag makes it 72.9 years, it’s not going to suddenly reveal a manufacturing defect in year 73.

Since no manufacturer covers abuse, failure to maintain, normal wear and tear, etc., we thought it would be better to just offer a real warranty you can count on without all the fluff.

As with any handcrafted product, and whenever humans are involved, there is always the potential for human error.  We’ve built our processes with redundant layers of quality control, but even so, there is always a small chance there could be an issue.  And we want to eliminate any worry about that for you.

So here’s what our warranty means, what it covers and what it doesn’t. 

Our warranty covers manufacturing and material defects for all of our leather goods for a period of 1 year from the date you received your purchase.  In the unlikely event that there are manufacturing or material defects, they would likely arise in the first few months of ownership, certainly within one year of regular use.  After that, it is typically how well you maintain the product that determines its life.

Please note that there is no warranty coverage for normal wear and tear, natural aging of the product, damage caused by you or others, animal damage, excessive use and abuse, overloading, unintended use of the product, products that have been modified by you or others, etc.  There is also no warranty coverage for items not purchased directly from us, Weston Cole.

We’re in this for the long haul and we want our customers to be happy.  So if you have any concerns about your product, feel free to reach out to us.
