How do I take care of my handcrafted leather goods?

Leather is an organic material that will naturally patina with use over time, more so on areas handled frequently like your most used card slot. Unfortunately there is no way to keep your leather good looking as pristine as the day you picked it up, but you can maintain it so it can continue looking great for years to come.

Avoid excess exposure, spills, overstuffing and poor storage. Upkeep is normally not required, but if you need to clean your leather item, please use a horsehair brush. Occasional brushing in small circular motions using a horsehair brush helps remove surface dirt buildup.

Special vegetable tanned pieces like items made from Pueblo or Maya have a lightly buffed surface and will patina the fastest than other leathers. This leather type requires a more consistent regime of brushing to remove dirt and other substances that could infiltrate the leather pores. Any application of cream or care will cause the leather to darken considerably.

Are custom and personalized orders possible?

Yes! I specialize in custom orders to meet your needs with attention to detail. This is one of the biggest benefits of working with a small craftsperson instead of purchasing a mass-produced item that was designed for a generic audience. Personalization such as favorite or preferred colors, monogramming, and optional designs are also available.

Leave a message when you place your order or contact me and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Items from Ready to Ship are highly limited in their ability to be personalized since this is normally done during construction and not on a finished piece.

How do I track my order?

1-2 business days after an order is placed, item will be shipped and a tracking number will be sent to the email provided during checkout. Use the tracking number at https://www.correos.es/es/en/individuals to follow your order. For Made to Order items and bespoke pieces or if you did not receive an email with the tracking number, please contact info@possaladesigns.com for updates.

What are the accepted payment methods?

Major credit cards and Paypal are the accepted payment methods. Bizum is only accepted within Spain. Cash is only accepted within Madrid, Spain.

Do we offer product warranty and repairs?

All handcrafted leathergoods made by Possala Designs come with a 1 year warranty starting from the date of purchase to cover crafting defects such as a loose thread, failed edge paint, etc and will be repaired at no charge. Buyer is responsible for shipping to and from the workshop.

Items that have been accidentally put through the wash, pens exploding, an over-excited pet scratch or bite, etc are not covered by warranty. Repairs are available at an additional cost.

Can orders be returned?

Purchased items can be returned up to 14 days after arrival and buyer is responsible for return shipping. The returned item must be unused and come in original packaging. Upon inspection to confirm item was at the same state when sent out and unused, refund will be processed.

Due to the nature of custom pieces and pieces on sale, these purchases are final and not eligible for returns. Custom pieces include bespoke built items and personalized items such as monogrammed initials, name, etc. I am a small crafter running a small business and would do what I can so everyone can be happy.
