Dear Sir, thank you for your feedback. We were sorry to hear that our product did not meet your expectations. We use feedback like yours to improve as a company, and we appreciate you took the time to share it with us. We are already in direct contact with you regarding your 2yr old case, and are currently providing a resolution and as confirmed with you, your item is completed and due to ship from Italy in the next 24 hours.
As a sustainable company, we offer a unique 25-year warranty on all of our products against manufacturing faults. Whilst we do not cover issues deemed to be occurring from use, or fair wear and tear, we always offer to restore products for customers, and in this instance, we have restored this item free of charge.
Just to reassure you, we use a small family-run atelier in the heart of Italy, with over 75 years of experience in the leather trade with a small number of skilled artisans. All of our items are also crafted using Italian components and hardware, a rarity these days. Handcrafted items do take time and care to craft. The shipping from Germany to the UK and Italy does take time, and with items unexpectedly held at customs, in this case, which is unfortunately out of our control, we sincerely apologise for the delay experienced.
We do, however, hope you will continue to fully enjoy your restored item once it is back with you and continue to provide you with assistance and support.
