Please be aware that the photos on our website are as close as possible a representation of the actual leather colours. Leather is a natural material and therefore inconsistency of colour and texture is a unique characteristic. The colour may slightly differ from the picture seen on your computer screen depending on device so please make your selection carefully. SANCIA leather goods are crafted in the finest skins available. These premium leathers are natural and unique: any tonal variations, marks or veins are natural features and should not be considered imperfections.

Our fabrications are all hand dyed so there will be variations in batches of fabric colour. Even though we try to photograph them to capture the closest possible match sometimes, there may be a slight variation which adds to the uniqueness of each piece. We are happy to send any further images should you want a closer look at any item, do contact us.

We do not accept a return based on colour discrepancy.

When you purchase multiple items and one item is on pre-order, if you are based in Australia, we are happy to ship the items individually.
However, if you’re purchasing internationally, we will ship the items together when the pre-order item is available as the shipping costs are too high for us.

At SANCIA, our makers are a part of our extended family. Each factory we work with is a family-run or female owned business. We know where every part of our product comes from and who is making it. You can read more information here
