Policies

Our python products are made from genuine leather, ostrich, alligator or python  skin. Python, ostrich and  skin is a unique, natural material. Due to the nature of python skin, no two products are ever the same. Color and texture may vary. Please refer to our care guide at the bottom of this page to learn how to best care for your purchase.

Inventory

Unless an item has the "add to cart” button available to click, you should expect your purchase to arrive in about 12 weeks. You will receive an email as soon as your purchase is shipped to you. If you have any special requests, don’t hesitate to send us an email. Custom colors are available.

Custom Order Process

If you can dream it, we can do it! We take great pride in being able to offer completely customizable handbags. You have the option of selecting everything from the lining color to the hardware. Add a stripe, add a patch or keep it simple. The choice is yours. Our attention to detail during the custom order process is second to none.

Your custom bag can built by contacting us for a personal consultation. We go through every detail to make sure your expectations are met.

Once we have your order, we start the process of making your custom bag. You can expect your bag to arrive in approximately 12-16 weeks. Our artisans will first hand select and dye each piece of python to ensure color matching and quality. We only use premium leathers for our handbags and put quality and craftsmanship first. Once the leather is ready, each piece is hand sewn and your bag starts to come to life. Patches, and any other details are added next before the bag is completed. It then goes through an extensive quality control inspection to ensure that your handbag will exceed your expectations.

We then wrap it up and prepare it for shipment. Due to the process of importing exotic leather into the US, this can take up to 3-4 weeks to complete. Each piece of python needs to be properly permitted and accounted for to arrive and clear customs inspection. Next stop is to our shop in Charleston, SC, where it goes through another quality check before it’s wrapped up and shipped to you.

We know that this is a long process, but it is the only way to make sure that you receive the luxury handbag you ordered with all the details correct. We do our best to estimate delivery times, but the due dates are always an approximation. 

Shipping

We ship nationwide, however, due to state regulations, we are unable to ship python products to California. We also ship internationally, but due to restrictions on exotic leather shipping, international shipping excludes any exotic leather products. Only our pebbled leather products are able to be shipped outside of the US.

All our exotic leather products are imported legally under the regulations set by CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora). We are unable to ship python products outside of the US. Because of these regulations, we recommend that our customers do not travel internationally with our python items.

Care Guide

• Exotic leather is a naturally delicate material. Please follow these steps to best care for your bag.
• Please keep your bag out of direct sunlight and away from heat whenever possible. Overexposure to light can stain or alter the color of the leather. Exposure to heat may dry out the skins and cause peeling or cracking.
• Avoid getting your bag wet. If your bag does get wet, allow it to dry naturally. Do not try to use a blow drier or other heat source to dry out your bag if it gets wet. You may use a soft, clean cloth made of microfiber or cotton to gently wipe down your bag. Always wipe in the direction of the scales. Never rub your bag against the grain.
• Avoid exposure to perfume sprays and lotions. These may cause discoloration or drying of the skin. Leather will absorb any dirt, oil and makeup that it touches. Make sure hands are clean before touching handles.
• Keep your bag in a cool, dark place when not in use.
• Lighter colors of leather will naturally darken with age. This is the natural progression of bleached and light colored leathers.
• Please follow these tips to care for your Taxidermy bag and contact us with any questions.
