Here’s what happens after you place your order: I begin the process of crafting your bag from scratch. Because each piece is made to order, it takes me around 3 days to handcraft your bag with care and attention to detail. Once the bag is ready, I personally inspect every stitch and seam to ensure it meets the quality standards I’ve held for over 34 years.

From there, I carefully pack your order and prepare it for shipping. You’ll receive a local tracking code so you can follow your bag’s journey straight to your door.

Shipping is always free to the USA, Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. In total, from crafting to delivery, the process takes about 10 days on average. I appreciate your patience—quality takes time, and I want your bag to be perfect when it arrives.

Thank you for supporting true craftsmanship. Your trust means the world to me.

Every bag comes with a lifetime craftsmanship guarantee. If you don’t love it, return it for a full refund – no questions asked.

Handcrafted Excellence – Built for a Lifetime

In a quiet workshop, away from the noise of mass production, a skilled craftsman meticulously shapes, stitches, and finishes each Timber & Hide bag by hand. With years of experience, he selects only the finest full-grain leather, ensuring every piece meets the highest standards of durability and timeless style.

Unlike factory-made bags, no two Timber & Hide pieces are exactly the same. Each one carries its own unique character, aging beautifully over time and becoming a true companion for life.

⚠️ Limited Stock – No Mass Production
Because every bag is crafted in small batches, availability is limited. Once a design sells out, it may take weeks before new pieces are ready. Secure yours today—before it's gone.

Thanks for being a part of Timber & Hide—I hope these bags serve you well for years to come.
