Waiting time for the bag was much longer than expected. The effect was that at the same time the bag was offered with a discount. Un unhappy event. I expect a refund.

The experience was generally good
The experience was generally good. The items ordered arrived with a two week delay. But I was informed by the company that there would be a delay of ten days, due to shortages in Britain. The items were requested from the warehouse in Italy. So the delay was longer than predicted. Also, I did not receive an email to inform me that the items were on their way. I was informed that I would receive an email.
The products are of high quality and they were very well packaged.
I am not sure of the exact date of the experience. But it was in January 2025.
I am adding to my review on 4th February 2025 that I have now received an excellent reply from the company regarding my customer experience review.

Great bag, great communication!
Some delays in delivery when ordered during high season. Customer service did a wonderful job by proactively informing me along the way.
I am impressed by the quality of the bag, from the leather that is used to the finishing and the seams. All really good quality.
Expensive: yes. Extraordinary quality and a timeless design and a great service: also yes.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate all types of feedback, whether positive or negative, as it helps us to grow as a business and improve when needed. On this occasion we can see that the order was dispatched on the 18th of December with standard shipping to Japan. Unfortunately, at this time of year than can sometimes be delays with the couriers, and the standard shipping takes several days to arrive in Japan. We can see this did get delivered and apologise that it was not possible to get this delivered before Christmas. We hope the recipient was happy with the product despite the short delay.
