FAQ

The practical side of making something beautiful.

Minimums, timing, pricing, ownership and materials—clear answers to the questions that shape a leather-goods project.

Minimums are set per project rather than as a fixed number — they depend on the leather, the colours and the construction involved. Samples start from a single piece, and we discuss realistic quantities openly in the first conversation.
Sampling time depends on the design, the materials and the season, and is confirmed with your quote. It covers pattern development, material sourcing, and assembly in our Florence atelier.
No. Pricing is quoted per project because it depends on leather type, hardware complexity, finishing, and order volume. We provide detailed quotes after reviewing your brief.
Both. A detailed tech pack accelerates the process, but we regularly develop products from hand sketches, reference photos, or even written descriptions. Our pattern-making team translates your vision into production-ready specifications.
