Made To Order FAQ

Made-to-order FAQ

PRODUCTION & MANUFACTURING

HOW LONG WILL MY ORDER TAKE TO BE PRODUCED?

Production on a Made-to-order item will range from 3 to 5 weeks. Production begins within 48hrs of you placing your order. This practice ensures that you receive a pair of shoes that is truly made for you. Every section hand-crafted, exclusively for you.

Typically, customizations and advanced artisan methods (i.e Patina Finishing) will require the full 4 weeks to produce your pair.

Despite the time consideration of your made-to-order shoes, you can rest assured your investment in quality and skill will pay off as you enjoy your perfect pair time and time again.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY ORDER IS DELAYED?

We will do our best to fulfill the above production time for all the orders, however, as a hand-made production process, our production line is subject to issues which are out of our control. Issues like stains or broken pairs while moulding the shoes, forces us to start the manufacturing process from the beginning.

In those cases, we promise to keep you informed, and try to finish the manufacturing as soon as possible.

On the unlikely event of not being able to produce your pair again from the beginning in a reasonable amount of time (i.e. Out of stock of a certain material) we will contact you immediately and offer an exchange or a full refund

CAN I MAKE CHANGES TO MY ORDER?

Since this a made-to-order service, we do not allow to cancel or modify an order which has been placed and paid on our systems, since it will be automatically sent to production right away after the payment.

If you spot any error after submitting an order, please, send an email to our support team as soon as possible, to review your case individually

CAN I CANCEL MY ORDER?

Bear in mind that right after you submit the payment, your order is automatically launched to production on the factory. Raw leather is hand-cut during the first 48 hours, and sole unit also starts to be manufactured. Production process continues until the pair is finished after 3-5 weeks.

If you would like to withdraw your order right after it has been placed, please, contact us immediately, and we will try to stop the production without incurring in any costs.

However, if you want to cancel an order that has already started production, you can still do it, however, bear in mind that there is a cancellation fee of 50-100 EUR, to account for used materials and labour work.

You will receive a full refund of the original paid amount, excluding the cancellation fee, including the shipping costs.

Also, we work with natural materials (leather hides), each leather hide can vary and accept antiques creams/dyes differently, a slight colour variation may accrue, this is out of our control, we do our best to keep this as consistent as possible.
