Our promise

The Velvinci Guarantee Two years on every stitch.

Every Velvinci bag is cut from full-grain leather and saddle-stitched by hand in Marrakech. We stand behind that work: if the stitching or the hardware fails within two years, we make it right.

What you can count on

Saddle-stitching and solid brass hardware on a Velvinci bag
Why we can promise it

Made to last, so we can say so.

A guarantee is only as good as the bag behind it. Ours starts with how each one is made, by hand, in our atelier in Marrakech.

Saddle-stitch
Two needles and one waxed thread. If a single stitch breaks, the seam still holds.
Full-grain leather
The top layer of the hide, the strongest grade. Never split, bonded or corrected leather.
Solid brass
Hardware that does not flake or peel like plated metal.
Burnished edges
Sanded, dyed and polished by hand, so they wear smoothly.
Questions

About the guarantee

How long is the Velvinci guarantee?

Two years from the day your bag is delivered. It covers the hand stitching and the hardware of every Velvinci bag.

Is the patina on my bag a defect?

No. Full-grain leather darkens, softens and picks up small marks as you use it. This patina is the reason people choose full-grain leather, and it is not covered because nothing is wrong.

How do I make a claim?

Email [email protected] or use the contact form with your order number and a photo of the problem. We reply with the next steps.

Who pays shipping for a repair?

We do. For a repair under the guarantee, Velvinci pays the shipping to our atelier in Marrakech and back to you.

What is the difference between the guarantee and returns?

Returns let you send back a bag within 30 days for free if it is not right for you. The guarantee covers faults in the stitching and hardware for two years.

Do I need to register my bag?

No. Your order number is all we need.

Something not right with your bag?

Write to the atelier with your order number and a photo. A real person will reply.
