There are no returns or refunds on custom items.

Warranty

All of my leather goods are hand cut, tooled, or stamped, and made from top quality materials to ensure a piece that will last. Quality counts when choosing leather. I choose to use Hermann Oak Leather which has been lauded by leathercrafters since 1881 and is tanned in the USA. I only use Miyuki Delica beads which are superior quality, machine-made, glass Japanese seed beads. They are known for their uniform size and cut consistency standards which make them ideal for loom beading.

Since you are buying a handmade item, there may be variances in color, stitching, etc.

Payment

Custom orders must be paid in full before production begins -this includes all steps in the design process. Price quotes will be honored for 30 days. After 30 days, prices may change. Changing design components (for example adding buckstitch) will change a price quote.

SHIPPING

Cherokee West Leather Co. is not responsible for any lost or damaged items during shipping. All items will have standard $50 shipping as provided with USPS priority shipping. Additional shipping is available at the buyer’s expense. If additional insurance is requested, please notify me immediately before invoicing.
