Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our made-to-order process, materials, and bespoke service.
Custom Orders
How does the made-to-order process work?
We begin with a private consultation to understand your vision, lifestyle, and preferences. You'll select your materials—crocodile skin or premium calf leather—along with colors, hardware, and interior details. Our artisan then hand-crafts your piece with meticulous attention to detail, keeping you informed throughout the process until your exclusive handbag is ready for delivery.
What are the lead times for custom orders?
Lead times typically range from 8–12 weeks, depending on the complexity of your design and current demand. We prioritize quality over speed, ensuring each piece receives the artisanal attention it deserves. Upon placing your order, we'll provide a precise timeline and keep you updated at each stage of creation.
Can I make changes during production?
We welcome refinements early in the process. Once production begins, major changes may impact the timeline and final result. We recommend finalizing all design details during the initial consultation to ensure your vision is perfectly realized without delays.
Materials & Quality
What is the difference between crocodile skin and calf leather?
Crocodile skin represents the pinnacle of luxury—its distinctive texture, exceptional durability, and rarity make it the choice of discerning collectors worldwide. Premium calf leather, by contrast, offers refined elegance with a supple hand-feel and develops a beautiful patina over time. Both materials are ethically sourced and age gracefully, becoming more valuable with age.
Are materials ethically sourced?
Absolutely. We partner with responsible suppliers who adhere to strict ethical and environmental standards. Our commitment to sustainable practices ensures that every piece you own reflects not only exceptional craftsmanship but also values aligned with conscious luxury.
How do the materials age and develop character?
Both crocodile skin and calf leather are living materials that develop a unique patina with time and use. Calf leather softens and deepens in color, while crocodile skin gains additional luster. This evolution is part of the luxury—your handbag becomes more beautiful and valuable as it ages, telling the story of your journey together.

Are limited editions priced differently?
