Frequently Asked Questions
Why handmade-to-order?
It allows to take a more sustainable approach to the creation and production processes. Producing on demand means minimal waste, reduced inventories, and a lesser contribution to fashion industry’s harmful impact on environment. This also means you can be a part of the process. Not only are you shopping sustainably, but you can also take part in selecting the details that make your bag. If you have any specific requests—like an alternate stitching color, or a longer/shorter strap—our personalized approach means we are able to work directly with you to ensure you have a bat you will love and wear for years to come.
When will I receive my bag?
After you place your order, the production process begins in our Istanbul atelier. Your bag is crafted entirely by hand to your specifications. You can find exact ship dates on each product page.
