Q: There is something specific I’m looking for but can’t see it on your website. Can you make more than what you have listed?
A: Absolutely, most of what I have listed were also customer requests. I am always available to make something specific to your needs whether this is style duplicate, modification to an existing style or even something completely new
Q: Can you use exotics like alligator and ostrich?
A: I have indeed worked with exotics and am able to source them. There are, however, a few issues. One is that of import regulations. Without going into too much detail, even though the hides I can get have CITIES certification, in order for me to ship a product outside the UK, I am required to apply for an export certificate for every item. There is both a monetary and not insignificant time cost involved in this and it generally doesn’t make sense for me to do so. The other main issue is the cost of the hides themselves. A full alligator hide costs between £500 - £800 ($670 - $1050). It’s not economical for me to buy a full hide just to make a small item like a watch strap or card holder as I can’t reasonably charge enough for these items to cover the cost of even the hide itself let alone my time to make it and the cost of an export certificate
Q: I’m looking to have something made in a specific leather. Can you help me find it?
A: No problem, just send me a message here. I can help you identify the leather if necessary and source the leather for you
Q: Do you do monogramming?
A: Yes, I have a foil stamping machine and can offer monogramming or short messages. I use a discrete serif font and generally stamp in either gold or silver although I can do other colours too. There is an additional charge however, and my listings aren't setup to handle this yet. Please contact me here to discuss your requirements
Q: I would like to have a custom stamp made to emboss my item. Is this something you can do?
A: I am able to get custom brass stamps made in order to emboss items. There would, naturally, be an addition cost involved however. There are a few factors involved which would necessitate further discussion. Send me a message here to do so.
