Questions, Answered
How the house works — the one-of-ones, the standard collection, what a piece costs, how it ships, and why nothing here is rushed.
What is a one-of-one?
A piece built from a single hide and never repeated. Each is numbered and signed, often built around the natural marks of that one skin, so it cannot be made twice. When a one-of-one is gone, it is gone — we never restock it. Why we keep the scars →
What is the standard collection?
The way into the world: our core pieces — the Momo cigar holder, the Kuko card wallet, and the Bifold — made by hand from full-grain leather and released in small numbers. Standards return only in small releases, never mass-produced.
Do you take commissions or bespoke orders?
No. We release what is made, in small drops, and The List is the only door to the next one. Every piece stays part of a limited release rather than an endless catalogue.
What do pieces cost?
Standards begin in the hundreds; one-of-ones run into the thousands, set by the hide and the hours in it. Price reflects fully handmade construction and rare, hand-chosen leathers — never a discount, never a sale.
Is shipping free?
Within the United States, yes — complimentary, insured, and tracked. We ship worldwide; outside the United States there is a flat $25 shipping charge, also insured and tracked. Either way it leaves here in packaging worthy of what is inside.
How long does it take?
If a piece shows as available, it is ready to ship — it leaves the bench within a few days, wrapped by hand. Some pieces can be reserved in advance; those ship within a couple of weeks. A one-of-one marked sold is gone for good; if it shows available, it is ready now. Standards that sell out return when they return — and they tend to go quickly. Why the hand work takes time →
How do I get a piece before it is gone?
Join The List. Releases are small and a one-of-one is never restocked, so The List is the only reliable way to be there when the piece you want is released.
How do I care for the leather?
Carry it. Full-grain and shell cordovan are made to age — they darken and take a patina with use. Keep them dry, condition rarely and lightly, and let time do the rest. More on the leather →
