GIFT PURCHASESWe can accommodate any request for personalised gift purchases, including, messages, inscriptions, concealed notes. Any personalisation details must be requested before the making of the bag has commenced. Details can be communicated at the time of purchase, or by email via Enquiries within 48 hours of purchase. We can provide a blind Gift Receipt for a recipient, that confirms ownership and authenticity. This is particularly important for exotic bags that will require the owner to hold the Cities certificate to confirm traceability of the material used.
-
WHAT IS A CITES CERTIFICATE?CITES stands for Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of wild fauna and flora. The CITES Certificate is issued by the Cites Management Authority at the U.S Department of Fish and Wildlife. Our Exotic bags are made from Alligator mississippiensis from Hermes' Tannery. Although covered by Cites, Alligator mississippiensis is NOT an endangered species. Coverage by Cites ensures that all our exotic leather is fully traceable, and maintained to the highest standards of humane stewardship, sustainability and conservation.
-
WHY DO I NEED A CITES CERTIFICATE?When travelling internationally with an Exotic bag, ( Alligator, Crocodile etc. ) it is essential to hold the required documentation as to the provenance of the leather to avoid any unfortunate hold ups when passing through Customs. Exotic leathers are internationally regulated under the Cites agreement, and can be subject to inspection whether hand carried or included in your luggage, holding the required certificates will ensure this is a seamless process for you during travel. Exotic bags that are not accompanied by the relevant paperwork risk confiscation by Customs authorities. Please note, a Cites Certificate is not needed for a Leather bag. The Cites certificates must accompany your bag for all international travel and will be delivered to you with the purchase of your bag. If you purchase a bag and it is shipped to you internationally, the Cites certificates will be automatically included as part of your shipping documentation.
