  Yes, we can customise any of our ready-made products or if you need something bespoke, then have a look at our custom design service page or just give us a call.

• My bag's colour and shade seem a little different from the pictures you have up

  That's because each leather hide comes from a different animal and it's only natural for them to have some unique shade or tint. Remember it is real 100% genuine leather products? No fake stuff. Or the other way to look at it is each product has its unique look and feel.
